i dont understand a clue about rejetting ive been reading the threads and im finding it hard to take in, ive ordered some jets for my quad loads of sizes, ive got a aftermarket pipe uni filter and air box lid off what size jet would i need to run, plug chop what di these do?
thanks
 
what aftermarket pipe? its important to know before giving specific advice .
Re-jetting means to remove the carb , remove the float bowl and replace the brass mainjet , and sometimes the pilot jet to install larger jets to compenstate for engine modifications .
For Example I'll use my Blaster .
FMF Head Pipe and PC2 silencer
UNI Pod Filter with no airbox
Stock Carb re-jetted with a 290 Main , stock pilot , air screw 1-3/4 turns out .
The Plug chop is done to show you what is going on in your cylinder , when you do one the end result should be a light to medium tan stained electrode insulator ( the ceramic part the electrode sticks out of ) if its really dark , and wet and gooey looking , its too rich , drop down 1 main jet size and use a NEW plug and do it again until you get that tan/brown color . If its too lean , it will too light of a tan , or almost no discoloration , and too lean means BOOM !!!! no more motor . Always jet rich , just on the rich side to protect the engine .
The main jet in a stock carb is a 230 , its easliy removed with a small six sided socket , make sure you don't lose the washer between the main jet and the jet body , IT HAS TO BE THERE otherwise it will never work right . and don't reef on it when installing it , its brass , its delicate , think of it as a egg , hold it like a egg , turn down the volume on your meathooks when installing it , ok chief? .
I never had to mess with the pilot jet , its fine , usually thats for a bigger carb OR if you are running a Big Bore on a stock carb , not a good idea so don't do it .
Needle position is also important , BUT with your set-up , I doubt you'll have to change it , mines in the stock position in the clip .
While you have the carb apart , clean that bastard , good too , carb cleaner , pull the choke apart , clean it , clean it clean it clean it , blow out all the passages with compressed air .
My best advice is this clean off your workbench , put down a dark towel ( I had a big piece of dark speaker carpet I stapled down ) so you can easily see all your parts , and small stuff tends not to just roll onto the floor when its kept like that .
also check You Tube , I have seen a jetting video on there before for the Blaster Carb .

2-Stroke Plug Chop How-to

i looked through the first link and theres one but with a bigger carb :/ and the plug chop was really really useful, i was just wondering if i had to get it flatout in top gear as i dont have a big enough place to ride to do that :/ any suggestions what to do
 
dan, i have to ask.....where you located ???? the "cheers" and "fancy" words you've been using have me wondering

Gotta be from "across the pond."

And Dan, 3rd or 4th gear is plenty. The point of a plug chop is for it to be flat out rpm-wise, under load. And not everyone cuts the plug, it is possible to examine the plug with a flashlight (a "torch"?) and possibly a magnifying glass.
 
I was just askin the same question about mine but I'm runnin with my air box lid on its got boyesen duel stage reeds an a full DG exaust system front to back but ya my plug was going kinda grey on the metal rod on the spark plug so I got info an I'm gona put a 240 main jet an a 35 pilot jet see what happens I belive its a 32.5 for the stock pilot jet!
 
ok if ur asking if you cut the pluf then put it back in the cylinder il tell you right now no.
what you do is warm your bike up on the plug you have in it now(might want to stop and get a couple of plugs) when its up to operating temp you take the olod plug out then you put a new fresh one in. you ride it WOT (wide open throtle) til 6th gear hold it there for a feww seconds pull in the clutch hit the kill switch cost to a stop. take out the plug put the old one back in. go home and cut the threads and have a look on the inside if its to light go up a size if its to dark go down. unless its to dark and she sill rips threw the gears hard and does not heasitate then just leave it a little on the rich side i like to jet mine to be a little rich hope this helps good luck to ya.
 
It depends on how it runs. If you find yourself screwing the air screw in too far (only 1/2 turn out for example) you might benefit from a larger pilot. It's more a question of how is your low-end throttle response.
