Title: Jet Part #'s and Mixture Screw Settings
Post by: skoebl on March 19, 2006, 01:11:00 PM
Well, turns out I got bleeder-type jets  :icon_confused:.....So at the moment no rejet for me.

I have two questions though.

                 What is the part number of the #40 pilots (for a '97 btw), 'cause my local dealer (Fun Bike Center) only had bleeders.

                 Also, what is the stock setting on the air mixture screws?

I am temporarily going to set it back to stock since I can't get it to run with just the new mains and the old pilots. (any guesses on that?)

You should still be able to run with the mix screws out 3 turns, irregardless of pilot jet size.  Set them and leave them.  Control your desire to fiddle with 'em; restrain yourself.  Otherwise, set them to 1.5 turns out, that should be lean enough (or one turn).

I couldn't get mine to run after I opened it either, but I figured why bother since I was going to get it jetted right anyway.

After getting everything all set back to stock...I realized that my floats were not set correctly. I was, for the most part, running on one cylinder the whole time  :oops:

But, now it runs better than it ever did  :laugh:
So, probably sometime next week I'll get it all set up for the re-jet.

I guess I'm just a n00b...but I can't seem to find the pilot on cycle gear  :icon_confused:
I'm probably just over thinking it all.  8)

No, you're allright, it's not listed on Cycle Gear's site, nor will it be, because they have always been a dirt-oriented store.  You need to go in there personally (as did I) and hopefully you will get someone who knows, or understands, what you are talking about.  Non-bleeder type pilot jet, p/n: N151.067-40
