Okay so I just rebuilt my motor. Im in the process of breaking it in. I have a full pro circuit exhaust, oil injection eliminator, airbox lid off, bored 40 over (.40 i think) stock carb. IDK how to get the pilot but I know my main is 320. Is that too high and how do I fix it?
 
#320 is possibly a tad large, but it wont hurt to start there, and then do the following after heat cycles and the easy ride.

Leak down test is essential before you start the motor.

Plug chop.

Warm up motor to operating temp.

Fit new B8ES plug, ride through the gears and hold WOT in 5th or 6th gear for 10 seconds, or as long as you can safely.

Switch off the motor and pull in the clutch, roll to a stop.

Take the plug out and replace the old one for the ride home.

Carefully cut the threaded end off the plug to expose the insulator.

There should be a smoke ring of a cardboard or biscuit colour around the insulator.

If it is non existant or a very light colour, you are lean and require a larger main jet.

If it is a lot darker you are rich and may go down a size in main.

I prefer to run a little on the darker side, I may loose a little power but it is worth it for the peace of mind that I won't need a rebuild so soon.
 
Thanks man, Im going to order a 35 pilot, a 260,270,280,290,300,310, and I have a 320. Do you think that should be good?
