Jetting help please!

[Inked soul]

Finally got my motor done 240 vitos with the plus 3 stroker , I got k and n air filter, vforce4 reeds, b1 toomey pipe n silencer, mixed gas at 32:1 heavy for the first gallon, tors is deleted, and I’m running a stock carb with blue needle on second clip up from bottom with a 360 main and 35 pilot, my idle screws all the way in and it’s just holding an idle, runs through the gears great but plugs coming out blackness dry, change the main it don’t effect the idle screw, needle either, any help would be appreciated!! What’s anyone running for jets that has close to what I have for mods? Am I in the ball park? Scared to blow it!!!

First off did you do a leak down test? Heat cycles and retoque head and jug?

No I did neither, I’ve never done a leak down test, but I can’t believe I don’t check the head thanks for the reminder! I’ll check this link out u sent

I can't recall anyone having any luck running a stock carb with a built 240 engine
I highly suggest you look into a 35/36mm carb and intake, then you'll find all the jetting info you need.

heavy for the first gallon < you also just leaned out the air/fuel ratio, more oil = less fuel
less fuel = boom

I thought I seen in the carb section ppl saying they had better luck with the stock carbs, what kind of carb do u recommend? I’m not rich but I’d spend a couple hundred or so on one if that’s my issue I want it to run at it’s potential

I’m looking at a 35 mm pwk air striker carbs there’s a wide range from $40-400$ Who sells the good ones?

 

[Slydog]

People are running those.
Of course the $40 ones are Chinese knock offs. Stay clear.
Jetsrus or sudco and some others

Where's your air screw mixture set at?
The blue needle runs rich on most pipes
Other than the fat basterd.

Awsome thanks for the reply, my air screw is still at stock settings I’m not firmiliar with how to adjust the air, idle is all the way in n I’m using the blue needle on the second clip up from bottom, is the 35 mm air striker a good choice? Thanks again for the help

I got my carb today pwk airstriker it came with a 45 pilot and 160 main in it, do u think that’s a good starting point? Should I start higher? I had a 390 main in my stock carb seems like a big difference...should I be running br8es for a plug? I been running a 9 since I put on the bbk thanks for the help ima wait n get some opinions befor I try it
