Help Identifying jets

82 GS1100E with PODS and 4 to 1 Kerker. Last I ran it 10 years ago (from what I remember) it was running pretty good. Upon recent motor tear down there was a lot of carbon build up in the head and the plugs looked like it was running very rich. If all goes well I should be able to try starting it in a few weeks. In anticipation of having to play with the jetting can anyone help me identify what jet kit I have? (See pic)

Pilot screw set to 3 1/4
Pilot jet 45
Main 165
Pilot Air jet 160


Thanks,
Dave

Hi,

The "square within a larger square" logo is Mikuni parts. The main jet (with just a number) is probably a DJ part.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
OK so the stock settings are:

main 110
main air 1.2 mm
Jet needle 5D58
needle jet X-1
Pilot jet #45

Does anybody see anything bad with the setup in the bike now? Looks like the main jet was changed and I'm not sure how to cross reference the 160 Mikuni Air jet to mm it may be stock.
 
I want to see a pic of the jet needle in the slide.
165 is a huge jet either DJ or Mikuni.

OK I will do that this weekend .... I just put the carbs back on the bike ... figures. I think I can take it out on the bike though.

Thanks,
Dave
 
No the long round one like in the earlier pics. It comes out of the slide.

OK I think I understand now .......

Do you want it with the main jet screwed in or out or a pic from inside the carb body?


What will a pic of it tell you?
 
I went back and looked through the pics of my tear down, will this suffice or do you need a different angle?

On the other side there are four screws holding in the slide. The slide is the round piece with a long needle poking through. It has a rubber diaphragm on the end.

And here is one of the diaphragm with a 7/32 bit in it. looks like it was drilled on an angle.

The angle is normal.

The needle is rather fuzzy in that picture, what Chef is asking for is a nice, in-focus picture of the needle.
The shape of the needle is drastically different between stock and DynoJet.
(This is what makes the DJ kit worth the money.)

If that needle has notches by the clip for adjustment you have the wrong Dynojet kit my friend.

Looks stock to me. If it's got notches its probably stock Canadian spec. I have a handful of those. Good for tinkering on a stock airbox bike with a pipe or a KN drop in but not for pods/pipe.

Your main is way way too fat DJ size or not.

For what you're running (didn't see if you're running stock pipes?) either DJ132 or DJ138 main stock pilot and of course the DJ needles.

If you try to run that thing with what's in there it's gonna be lean in spots, fat in others and you'll never get the potential out of it that it's got.
Buy a GS1100E stage3 dynojet kit, install per instructions (except I don't like their clip setting, put it 3 from the bottom) adjustment screws 3 turns out and be done with it.
