blackandyellowshee Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Am I going to have to rejet when I put new reeds in? I am running 290s right now and its perfect. Quote
BenBB Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Most likely, yes. You may only need to lean out the needle one clip position (typical for aftermarket reeds), but you might also have to drop the mains a size or two... Quote
blackandyellowshee Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Posted July 25, 2006 Wait a sec, I am suppose to lean it out? Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but drop the main jet size as in a smaller jet? I thought your supposed to put in a bigger jet. :baseball_wassat: Quote
BenBB Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Not for reeds, they usually make it run rich, so you MAY need to lean it out. See how it runs with the jetting you've got, but chances are it'll be a little doggy in the midrange and dropping the needle (one slot leaner-towards the blunt end) will clear it up. Same goes for the mains, maybe drop a size if it bogs on top, if not leave it where it's at. Delta's sometimes like one size richer pilot (if it's still lean at idle and right off idle with the airscrews 3 or more turns out), depends on your mods and what shee likes, the airscrews may need fine tuning as well...

blackandyellowshee Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Posted July 26, 2006 Oh ok I get it, thanks everyone. But what is that going to do to my fuel consumption? Quote
