help . carb question ??

you can't just say ok, i'll run these jets just because they came in the carb and hope that its ok without checking it.


jets-maybe 5 bucks each
plugs- 2 bucks each

top end rebuild 200+


please do some reading and save yourself from the "my blaster blew up and i'm selling it" conundrum that most people land themselves in

yeaa i get u . well how do u check ? by doing the spark plug check procedure or what ?
 
yes. you're aiming for a nice cardboard brown color.


and don't forget, new plug after every chop, or it'll be difficult to impossible to get a read
 
Sounds like you decided on the PWK28? Hell of a carb and here is a nice deal you might be interested in. 2007 YZ85 CARBURETOR KEIHIN 28MM PWK : eBay Motors (item 170553919296 end time Oct-24-10 07:17:39 PDT) Will prob sell for about 60. The nice thing about a PWK off a dirtbike like this one is the vertical vent lines. Also the new PWK I bought from an aftermarket source last year had the idle speed screw on the right side of the carb, kind of a pain. Likely you would have to rejet, but you will have to do that with a new one anyway. Add a cable and you are set.

Thats some sharp stuff your talking there dude... Interesting also, i been looking into bigger carbs just need more info for my set up.

alright i think i got it pretty much . imma order the carb later on tonight . il have it in next week. also i got another question what throttle cable do i get ?
 
a motion pro would work just make sure its for the keihin carbs. or a plain ole tors delete cable works too. the tors delete cable has nothing to do with the tors its just a cable.
 
alright perfect imma go with the motion pro . so im about to order and i got the carb and cable in basket . anything else i need ?
 
alright . yea i saw the procedure it doesnt seem to hard i think i got it . ok those are all main jet sizes . do i need to get a pilot jet kit also ?
