182.5 2 Years ago
|
|
Hello, my name is Donnie and I am new to this forum and I wanted to say hi to everyone. I have been reading several of your tech articles on carb jetting and I seem to be more confused than ever. My bike is an '04 1700 with 10k miles, has a stock air box until now, where I just purchased a BAK to install and I already have 3" HK straights. Now I just ported the manifold and looked at my current jets to find a 182.5 main jet and everyone is talking about 170 to 175 mains, what gives....Could mine be a Dyniojet main installed with pipes at dealer??? Do you guys have any recomendations on what to change considering my new (self ported manifold and a Barons big air kit). I gotta believe there are others that have this similar combination and was wondering if you could tell me what your jets and settings are for a starting point. Thanks and I look forward to your responses. |

182.5 is the stock jet. Its made for the stock needle which is very fat. If you rejet and put in one of the much thinner aftermarket needles the 182.5 will be too big and flow too much fuel.

I have basically the same air and exhaust set as you do but I have a baron's needle and their 167.5 jet with the clip set on 3 1/2 and the PMS out 2 1/2 turns.Runs great and gets over 40 mpg consistantly.....once 50 mpg.
IMHO you need a smaller jet and Baron's is the way to go (according to the dudes on here). Be sure to do the WOT tes when you put your new jet in to make sure you're not too lean then fiddle with the clip & plasticf pasher and stainless washers.
Also make sure your float is adjusted properly.
I'm sure some others will chime in.

Did you buy the BAK with a jet kit or did you buy it used with no Barons jet kit? If you don't have the Barons jet kit buy one it has everything you need to jet your bike correctly. It comes with new float bowel screws so you can get rid of the trash screws in the bowl assortment of jets and the needle.  |
