Jetting fun 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
OK, I've searched and searched and searched, can't find anything to help me. Got a problem with sputtering on accleration at 1/4 throttle. If I pull the choke out a little, it runs perfect. My first thought was a lean condition. Went from a 167.5 jet to a 170. Same thing. Did a WOT on both, and for some reason both still acclerate but not as much. What am I missing?
'03 1600
new BAK
167.5-170 jet, (170 is in now)
4th clip, washer under
cobra slash cut with baffles removed
dyna jet ignition
PMS 2 3/4
and almost out of Beam!

When you did the WOT did you have the clip in the 5th groove from the blunt end?

Are you in the 4th groove from the blunt end now?

"4th clip, washer under" I'm assuming that's under the clip. Do you have the spacer between the clip and the washer?

Did you check your float level?

If your running DynoJet jets you are too lean.

Edit: Disregard I just saw that you are running Mikuni's

You need to have the clip in the 5th from blunt end to get a valid result on the WOT.

The needle should have a (from blunt end) washer, clip, white spacer, washer.

In this case you can tell it's a Mik jet by the number. Dyna goes straight from 165 to 170. Mik has those numbers but also splits the difference, 165, 167.5, 170. That's why I like Mik jets better. You can fine tune it more.

ah ha!!! Float test was good, check the needle to see where the spacer was, and it missed the hole, fell inside the diaphram. SOB....
