Stock carbs, stock bore, no porting 700 ft (central NC) Single K&N with no lid Stock gearing Thanks in advance! 280-290 mains stock pilots clip on middle notch, so basically only changing mains.

mdhc500 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah, I'd agree... If the Gnarly's are similar to the Fattys (what I have) and you have the airbox OFF with a K&N, I may just start at 300's or 310's and do a plg chop right off the bat... You will prolly be at 280's or 290's, but its better to be a tad rich and work down... Also keep the needle in the 3rd spot, you should be good with the stock pilot, and try the air-screws 1.5 out to start with... Read BenB's jetting FAQ document and after you get your main's rigth just put some time on the plugs to get some color on them... You may need to drop the needle to the 4th clip if it moves at all and you can adjust the air srews as needed... Have fun... It's a learing curve but its easy when you get the hang of it... Quote
UNCC Grad Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Posted August 6, 2008 Thanks for the help guys. Anyone have experience with the Gnarlys? I do mainly trail and field riding (No dunes around here) so I thought the Gnarlys would be a good fit. Quote

If you took the stock pipes off, your going to love the feeling of aftermarket pipes of any brand. Quote
UNCC Grad Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Posted August 13, 2008 I got it rejetted tonight. 300 mains, stock pilots and 3rd clip on the needle with 1 1/2 turns. The previous owner had 240 mains and really rich on the 2nd clip. By switching the needle clip it really helped with powerband lag that was present on the previous jetting. No I didn't run it any length of time with the 240s but I had to give it a quick run to hear the new pipes. I will be doing some plug chops to get my mains spot on but I think I will be safe running a little rich with the 300s for now. Quote
