Title: Using N100.604 main jet in 01+ carbs
Post by: bodaciousllama on July 17, 2015, 11:17:47 AM
At some point in my bike's storied past, a PO changed the carbs to an 01+ (and most likely 04+, because it has a TPS) set.
Unaware of this fact, and in anticipation of installing my lunchbox and Delkevic slipon this weekend, I tore the carbs down yesterday to rejet to 40/147.5. (Jets which I had bought almost a year ago, before life got in the way).
To my surprise, the carb had three jets  :icon_eek:

Unfazed, I tried to replace the pilot with the N151, and it wouldn't fit.
The main, however, readily accepted the N100 147.5 jet.  :thumb:

My dealer has the correct size pilots and mid, but nothing in the 140-150 range.
So, does anyone see an issue with using the old-style jet in the interim?
The only difference appears to be the head diameter (old is 8mm, new is 6mm), length and head height are the same.
It didn't appear to interfere with anything, but I didn't reinstall the float bowls.
