jetting

yea i got my 230 main in and i bought it that way i guess the guy didnt know he had to rejet. so thats y my quads been parked for like awhile now til the jets come in. dont wanna fry my motor! eg, OEM jets are equivilant to higher jetting than stated, almost to a dyno jet. for an example dynos 300 main and mikuni 280 might be real close or sumthing like that..
quote from AWK08: heres a lil sumthin i found, it was a way bigger list, but i cut out the closest jet sizes to what were talkin here.......

Carb Jet Cross Reference, Keihin, Dynojet, Mikuni Friday, March 14, 2008 9:03 PM (permalink)
Width------Keihin # -- DynoJets # -- Mikuni #

0.0890---- 227.5------- 200--------- 187.5

looks like a mikuni 187 jet is equivalant to a 200 dyno jet < thats about 2 sizes bigger number than the mikuni

that being said, you should be running around a 270/280 main mikuni jet with your mods so a dyno jet equivalant should be in the low 300's, 310 possibly

if ya have one near that size throw it in there, with the stock needle on the middle clip position, and stock pilot jet, airscrew at 1 1/2 turns out
should be close
very rarely does the stock pilot or needle need changed in a stock mikuni carb, anyone who has had to do those changes either have huge mods or is compensating for an airleak or sumthin else

that needle and clip setting suggested provided by dyno is prolly your bogging troubles, try just to get the main right first, one thing at a time not a bunch of changes all at once, then chase your tail tryin to figure out which one is wrong

bottom line...........stock pilot jet, airscrew 1 1/2 turns, stock needle -middle clip,
low 300's dyno main jet

WOT plug chop and no airleaks !!!!!!
 
ya i didn't fell like reading that. but those cross reference list are never correct. dyno jets are numbers based off the size of the jet, mikuni and keihin jets are based of flow of the jets.

so never use anything but mikuni jets in a mikuni carb and keihin jets is a keihin carb.
 
i have 2 blasters, one full ken oconnor motor with all the a/m goodies in my sig, and my sons ken oconnor built, mild porting cleanup, lrd pipe w/ uni in an open airbox, and have ran a stock carb on both, before switching to a 34 on mine, and have never had to change a pilot jet in a stock carb
and neither should anyone else have to without any major mods
the stock pilot is correct for the airflow, at ilde, of a stock blaster carb, period. needing anything bigger is covering up for sumthin else, like an airleak

how often to you ride your blaster at low rpms?
if you was to put an exhaust, no lid with a hi flow filter, have a stock pilot and run your blaster at like 1/8-1/4 throttle all day, you will have problems. but because most people dont really ride at that range, most dont think they should put a bigger pilot in it.
 
Well i dont know i tend to agree with Awk, i put a 35 pilot in my stock carb with all my mods in sig and i have to run it at idle with the screw almost all the way in, so thats telling me that its too big as far as i last worked out, i always get mixed up between the air screw vs fuel screw on 4 and 2 strokes.

I run a 330 main with banshee needle and still have the 35 pilot but am going to change it back to the 32.5 stock

i ride by myself quite a bit, at low speeds/rpm's scouting for deer, on both my bike, and my sons, with zero problems, and it will idle all day long.
i have only ever fouled one plug, ever,that was the second day i had my brand new blaster back in '96,
so i've been tuning blasters for 15 years, how long have you even owned one ????
my airscrew setting says the stock pilot is correct. period.
