    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello there, I am getting ready to rebuild the carbs on my bike, and trying to get everything in order. So far I have ordered the carb kits, o rings, and intake o rings. Last time I had the carbs off, I noticed that they had been molested by someone previously. The air jets on the intake sides are all scared and chipped. It seems like this condition could effect performance. I asked my local if they had (or could get) these jets, and they said, "discontinued."
Does anyone know of an alternative? Why would these be discontinued? Doesn't make since.

Cheers!
 
The specs show the size to be a 160. I see a 160 in the jets are us site, but it is a keihin main jet. Will this work? The jets in my carbs say 55. Could a 55 be a 160 for a pilot air jet? I'm confused.

Are you looking for main jets or pilot jets??

Mains are 110,115..etc

Pilots are 42.5, 45, 47..etc
 
The jet I'm looking for is the pilot air jet. From the manual specs it shows it to be a 160. It is the jet you see when you look in to the intake side of the carb. Item 14 in the blown up image. I would post the picture but don't have the skills.
 
flatoutmotorcycles.com has 'em

Part # 09493-32002

$6.52 each.

You should verify these are the correct ones that you want. Good luck.
 
Thank you very much. Hopefully that is the last bit I will need for the rebuild project.:pray:
