#117319 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1115 Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I have my carb apart right now. I have a 170 main jet, I put the 2.5 mm float assy in. Today coming home I really cranked it in third gear and the bike was acting like it was running out of gas. I can't find the needle with the clips and washers. Where is that please? I did find one needle on the side under a black boot and it has three grooves on it and a spring, but no clip. Any help?   Logged     2.5MM Float Assy 170 Main Jet 3rd clip on the needle 2.5 turns out PMS Proud Member of Patriot Guard Riders Hirams Riders M C   The administrator has disabled public write access. #117321 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4325 Re:Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   try it with the gas cap off...you probably need some additionl venting, if so then the tech articles have a section on venting the gas cap... also when you hit the rev limiter, it will act like that..   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/09/07 17:36 By Flashback.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #117324 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1115 Re:Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I have the speed star module in, so I don't think I was up against the limiter, but you never know. Just doesn't seem to be making the power that it did with the fuel pump. I really think it wasn't getting the gas. I'll look at that in the tech articles and see what I come up with. That's a good idea.

Doc can give you an alternative to venting the cap, but be forwarned, it's not for the feint of heart...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #117334 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1115 Re:Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I guess venting the cap can't hurt anything, I plan on going down and doing it now anyway. Then I will see if I can adjust my PMS in a little better and see how that all works. This is a bear getting it right. I still can't find the needle everyone is talking about with the clips and washers, where is that thing?   Logged     2.5MM Float Assy 170 Main Jet 3rd clip on the needle 2.5 turns out PMS Proud Member of Patriot Guard Riders Hirams Riders M C   The administrator has disabled public write access. #117338 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1115 Re:Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   And while we are here, would a PMS screw out of adjustment do that?   Logged     2.5MM Float Assy 170 Main Jet 3rd clip on the needle 2.5 turns out PMS Proud Member of Patriot Guard Riders Hirams Riders M C   The administrator has disabled public write access. #117339 silver_fox (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 199 Re:Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The needle is accessed from the top of the carb. Not the bottom where the float is. You will need to take the gas tank off to get to it unless you have the carb off of the bike. It's under the vacuum slide cover. Good luck.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #117340 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1115 Re:Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Ok, does that thing unscrew out the bellows? Does it pull out? I don't want to damage it so I figured I would ask first.   Logged     2.5MM Float Assy 170 Main Jet 3rd clip on the needle 2.5 turns out PMS Proud Member of Patriot Guard Riders Hirams Riders M C   The administrator has disabled public write access. #117342 silver_fox (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 199 Re:Jetting help... again. 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Check the tech article Rejet your carb. It explains what to watch for. And how to remove the needle without hopefully breaking anything. http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/60/96/   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/09/07 18:07 By silver_fox.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
