Just orderd my new carb.Now I need to know what is a good cable at a good price to use on it.I need to know what is a safe jet to start with to do a plug chop with.It is a 30mm OKO flat slide carb.Non power jet.Im running an FMF pipe,DG silencer,V3's,K&N air filter with no lid.I don't want to try a plug chop with a to lean of a jet.Thanks for the help.
 
WTF!!!No one wants to help me?????

OK, if I am not mistaken the OKO runs on Keihin jets, as opposed to Mikuni types...

With that said, and the list of your mods, I would say you wanna be somewhere around the #145 main to start, maybe a bit bigger, depends on the fuel delivery with that OKO, not very familiar with that model.

Get yourself a few, from say 135-140 up to maybe 150-155? Should not need much bigger than that with the FMF setup, etc. The no lid will keep ya a little on the higher side, so again about a 145-150 main and stock pilot should again be a good starting point.

Be sure to plug chop!!
 
Thanks.I want to start out to rich to be on the safe side.It would suck to do a plug chop the first time with a jet that is to lean and blow my motor.That would meen no ridding this summer.This will be the first time ridding it.Thanks for the info.Rep to you.

Cool, agree. Hence the slightly larger jet bore recommended.

So, if Mikuni style start around 290-300, if Keihin go about a 150. These should be good, safe starting points for either...
Also, highly recommended for this setup, to lose the K&N and go Uni 2 stage, will be much better flow with no lid and give better tuning capability for your project.

Just my .02...
 
I thought K&N was the best.

Thought wrong...
I use to run a K&N, no comparison to the 2 stage UNI, none at all. Best $25 you will ever spend on a blaster, especially as ya mod it. I know this subject is controversial but IMO no comparison. And the flow rate is tested about 25-35% better, can run better larger jetting, etc.

Just do it. I:I

Uni 2 stage/Blaster

The 30 mm OKO I'm running did not have a number on the stock jet, but using a set of small twist drills as a go-no-go gauge, it was factory jetted about the same size as a 285 Mikuni jet. I ran it and checked the plug and it looks good. I've only got a crappy DG pipe and silencer along with a modded air box though.

Well there ya go Dakota. ^^^^^^^^^

Looks as if my theory is just about right on, based on Brain's info above. Thx Brain, appreciate the feedback for confirmation, all of this info will help Dakota get set correctly, rock on... :D

Yeah, should be good, but....I'd be careful though, I mean..who knows what size jets are in every one of them. Quality control can be goofy on off brand stuff, and without it being marked, who knows? If you cant check the orifice size somehow, you'd probably be better off just putting in what you know it is and go from there.

True True...

But this will give him a good safe starting point for sure.
