nightmare part 3
07 Mar 2011 13:58
today i found success with my bike partly. turns out that i am going to have to jet the thing my bike will not take fuel it starts to flood as soon as the rpms increase,will headers allow the bike to run richer? i am thinking about going down in jet size.i am going to start with 100 jets istead ofthe 120s that are in it now then i am going to try droping the needle down one notch at a time.the bike purrs like a kitten now but only if i can get it to rev. i did everything that everyone suggested. thanks for the help i am gratful.

I don't know for sure but I think even the 100 mains will be rich also. Your needle should ride in between slots #2 and #4 on a 5 position needle, if you have to go full lean on the needle it's jetted way to fat on the main and you will need to drop a size and recheck and so on and so forth until you get in the ballpark. If you get really close and needle clip changes won't get it dialed you will have to find the next needle in the direction you want to go. If a needle change occurs you may likely find yourself rejetting to account for the different mixture of the new needle. And like stonemaster said only one change at a time otherwise you'll be scratching your head trying to figure it all out.
