remove the bowl's of the carbs , then remove the bottom main jet , bronze / gold color , on the side or end of it , it should have a number( very tiny ) . If your bikes not completly stock and it came probly re jetted with cheap offbrand jet's , i seen unstamped ones.

thanks for the quick reply chase

the only stamping ive found is on the needle jet which

says 3456j0 (I think) please keep in mind i know nothing about

carbs or shees for that matter...... am i even looking at the right jet?

I don't know THANKS AGAIN

there are three adjustments on the carb

 

the slide needle , you can only get to this by unscrewing the top of the carb and removing the throttle cable and then taking the needle out of teh slide or butterfly.

 

second jet is a pilot jet , thats the tiny gold looking screw on the outside of the carb thats easy to see and righhhhhhhht there ( should be a spring in there ( im preety sure ) ) dont lose it.

 

the third and final jet is the main jet : the main jet can be reached by removing the 4 screws that hold the bottom portion of the carb on ( bowl ) in there smack dab in the center you will see a gold/bronze/copperish hexagon looking thing , that is your main jet . It should have numbers stamped on it .

 

If you are going to do some work on your shee i reccomend going with a clymers manual man , great way to learn everything while your taking a dump... also includes torque specs and good part break downs. If you dont get the book , check out the search button or jetting page on here , the top section has " info " pinned about carbs , thats where i learnd my majority of carbs.... besides trial a error .

Here's what the jets look like...

Mikuni small pilots and hex mains are what they look like. To remove your pilot, you'll need a very small flat head screwdriver, and the tube is right in front of the main....

Your mains sound fine. At or less than 1000ft...I normally end up with a 280 or 290 main.

Go and get 4 or 6 spark plugs, follow this guide...and you should be set. I'd say you're damn close as is. Is there a specific reason why you ripped the carbs apart in the first place???

I just got my shee a couple months ago and had a mechanic buddy

working on it for me well......my (buddy) is now in the graybar hotel

and i had to pick my shee up from his shop (CYCLE TECH) and it was in about

a thousand pieces...... long story short.... he had it cause it wasn't running right

and he was gonna clean out the carbs and dial them in for me

anyways it came from the Oregon coast and theres sand everywhere

I got my Clymers and am going to give it a try myself :baseball_bat:
