Almost got jetting right...

[okbeast]

The 1st thing I did to the shee was take the airbox off and put some dual K&N's on. It has T-5's on it but still had the airbox w/ airlid on and 280 mains. I can't remember exactly what the pilots were but it seems like they were 25's and after a little bit of reading that sounds way too low, which may be why I'm having a hard time starting it correct? I'm not sure what my mains are now, we just drilled them up 3 sizes, but I know they're somewhere around a 320, with the clip on the 3rd notch I believe (counting from the top). Once it gets started it runs like a bat out of hell so I'm going to try and drill out the pilot jet to see if that helps, any ideas on how much? Or what I could adjust on the needle?

Why are you drilling them out? Why not just go to the shop and pick up the correct jets?

 

I would try a 27.5 pilot jet...

Well it was a 3 a.m. jobber before we were goin riding and of course the shop wasn't open. I'll probably go pick up a set of pilots though so I get those right on.

What are your airscrews at. I agree w/bigboy on pilot size, but until you get them you can close your airscrews down to about a half turn out, it will help a little. You might even think about lowering your clip one notch(toward the pointed end) to richen up your midrange. And make sure your bowls are on the right carbs as well. They are different and will screw up your choke if not on the correct carb.

They should be numbered on the inside botom of the bowls 1-1 and 1-2. 1-1 goes on the left carb(carb w/choke lever). The sure fire way is to shoot carb cleaner in the hole that the choke tube from the left carb would go into(watch your eyes). The one that doesn't belong on the left side you shoot right back up at you as there is nowhere for it to go. Hope this isn't confusing.
