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.

Pilots jets

Hi,
I bought some larger pilot jets, the ones I bought have 4 holes perpendicular to the main hole through the center of the carb. The ones that were on the bike have only the hole through the center. Can I use these jets?
Thanks,
Nick

Which carbs do you hace on the bike?
 
Did you up to the 40 on the pilot jets? Do your new ones look like this

If they do I'd use them. These are mikuni jets made for the BS32SS carbs(among others) which are your stock carbs.
 
and I did go from 37.5 to 40. at 37.5 I was 3-3.5 turns out on idle mix screws
 
With the pods and Supertrapp did you go to a Dynojet?
Where did you get those jets? Are they mikuni? I buy my jets from Dennis Kirk or locally.
If they fit, they're mikuni and they say 40 on them(this guages gas flow and not size) try them. If they don't work return them. I've had no problems returning jets.
 
no dynojet kit, just larger main and shimmed needles. and well now the pilots, I will give them a try, I will tell you how it goes in a few minutes....
Thanks,
Nick
 
I got the pilots in, they seemed to work just fine. I needed to turn my idle mix adjust screws way down. there now set at ~1.
Thanks for you help,
Nick
 
I had a smillar question, i bought a Keyster carb kit for my bike, most of the jets appeared to match but there was a lot of unmatching parts (ie, jet needle, clips, fuel valve, etc).

The original jets looked like Nicholaschase29's and the ones in the kit looked like chef1366's... I ended up putting the originals back in as i did not know if the differences would cause problems
 
If you have your black plugs in, It won't make any difference. I'm 99% sure...
