My winter build was going good until...I heard about 5.oo gal gasoline by fall.I haven't put my tank back on yet or changed out my pipe that I have off for cleanning and changing the muffler..So I can change her back pretty easy.......
SOoo...I've now decided to stick with a basically stock set up.I have already put in #40 pilots and have one washer under the needles.I'm going to pull the 147.5 main jets.
My bike is a 1994 model..
Stock is 122.5 of course...but what size of mains should I go with 125's or lower? I'm wanting it a little richer according to Pablo's site.
I'm going to use my stock pipe and muffler.And keep the #40 pilots.I'm going to use the stock airbox and a Unifilter that's foam.Do I even need the one washer per needle? And how many turns on the bottom mixture screws? What say you???? :dunno_white: Thank's Ronin :cheers:
Im paying 105 p a litre ... which isnt the most expensive . i believe its up to around 111p a litre in London
That suck's dude......The problem is the dollar is tanking and the problem is our dollar isn't buying as much as it used to. :icon_rolleyes: I belive it's a controled crash world wide...They want the New World Order really bad. :2guns:
I remember a few people on here re-jetting for E85 (85% ethanol fuel).
Might be something we all will have to consider in the not too distant future.
Well with E85....would the #125main and one washer with 3turns be kosher? ;)
$5 for fuel? Be a man and walk it off. It'll still only cost you $20 to fill up and you'll only have to do it once a week. I pay more a month in soda.
Ah.but I love my cigars and we can't break into the cigar money! :icon_mrgreen: :cheers:
I found this by Scratch:
'94
San Jose/300' above
Stock airbox with Unifilter foam filter
Stock exhaust
40 non-bleeder type pilot jets, 125 large round mains
2.75 3 turns out on the mix screws, floats set to .5inch.
One 0.48mm washer Removed washers in search of better fuel economy; no change in performance.
Warmup time is about the same, but low-end throttle response is better, and low-end power delivery is smoother (even before a Bob Broussard advanced ignition rotor). Doesn't hesitate at steady mid-range throttle settings (cruising at 50-60mph).
Currently averaging 57mpg.

Cut out the soda so you can afford gas. :kiss3:
I made a hydrogen boost system for my jeep..worked fine.I got 5 more miles to the gallon.I would put one on the bike...but thats a future project. ;)

Correct jetting to run in your local climate wont be a big hurt to your gas mileage. Neither will the way lean jetting help all that much. Effectively a good running bike will call the devil out in your right hand, and that will be the $$$.
Cool.

I'm following up with what Scratch said. I've got an almost identical set-up, stock airbox, filter, and exhaust, 40pilot 125 main, 1 washer, 3 turns. Runs better than stock, especially in the low-end and midrange. No documented change in mileage. Totally recommended :thumb:
short term/longterm solution
short: drill in anwar , removes our dependance on foreign oil
long term: work toward alternative means of transportation , mass, solar etc

Thank's Sector...most of my riding is in town with short spurt's...Sounds like the ticket.Even if gas doesn't hit 5.00 this fall,all it will take is the ME going off like a Roman candle and it will be 6 or 7.00 over night.
Thank's to all for the input. :thumb: :cheers:
109.9p a litre in Wellesbourne (village on route to my work) for petrol.
Im shopping around using petrolprices.com trying to go to localish places that are still guna save me money.
Tesco are giving away 5p off per litre on their 106p per litre petrol with your online shopping orders - so that works out cheapest. Other than that lowest i can find is about 106p around by me. If i was to go to the most convenient i would be paying like 110p per litre then.
Mr Brown also has a proposal sat on his desk with some very persuasive numbers - his advisors are suggesting a 2p increase on fuel duty tax - Mr Brown is thinking hrmmm that will piss the people off, then he sees it will generate the government an extra 1billion! at no cost to themselves - thats a persuasive figure. Fookin just tax us to death. If they took all the tax away petrol would be competitive with that of the US

Sounds like you'all need one of those 1776 revolutions over there.Tall trees and short ropes... :icon_mrgreen:
about that e85 stuff....how do you get ur bike to run on it? and why is it so different?
A member here, Rema1000 got his on E85. He has a writeup on here somewhere. As I recall, once you jet for e85 you're stuck with e85 though, as it won't run on regular gas.
Here's one of them......http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=7945.0 :cheers:
Thought I'd follow up on what jetting I did go with.I used 125 mains and 40 pilots 1 washer,3 turns out.I run a uni-foam air filter.17tooth front and 44 tooth rear sprocket.plenty of get up and go in town..pulls hard from 2500rpm up.Runs great and so far 54mpg.She does want to get down the highway... :icon_mrgreen: :cheers:
