Pilot jet question

[jwhelan65]

Ok second notch made it worse

[Guest]

Well, thats leaning it out so two options from here. Go down one notch from stock to richen or, as suggested, raise the float height. Let us know how it goes.

Start with the mains. The DJ138's are fat and should be fine for a stock 1100E with pods/pipe. You are having problems off idle. That should NOT be a main problem, it COULD be a needle problem, but that is what the DJ needle is for. The 47.5 pilot is the standard setting for 1100E pods/pipe DJ kit so you are good there. You are only left with idle circuit.

Have you done the basics like sync crabs, set idle mixture, vacuum leak? Carbs on and sealed? The issue should be idle circuit stuff.

+1, I had assumed you had done the mains already.

If it's pulling 3-4k to redline 3/4 and wot the float height adjustment should help on that needle transition just before.

My fzr 1000 was doing the same thing. Raised the float hight 1.5mm and pulls like a train.

Just readjust the mixture screws once your happy with he float height. Probably won't need them turned out quite so far.

Yes forgot about float height

Carbs are synced, going to pull it all off today and start over.

I appear to have bigger issues, head is coming off

[tkent02]

Oh no, what happened?

Sorry to hear about it, but good time for an 1166 and some head work.

How much run time is on the engine?

Roughly 30k

Brand new plugs are gooey black

Early 82 with original crank, a bit hesitant to take on the 1166 kit. Starting fresh on the head for sure...

So what are you suspecting as "Bigger Issues" ?

I have oil puking out the exhaust ports around the header.
