Platinum Boarder Posts: 7907 Re:starter jet 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I can't help you much on what it does but you should be able to see light thru it. Bump this back to the top so someone with a better explanation can help.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #289012 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12504 Re:starter jet 1 Year, 11 Months ago   What year is your bike? I think that there is one year (1999) that the starter jet was solid. At least I know there was something that is solid on the older ones that isn't on the newer ones. Maybe Doc or Erbman will pop on and they will know for sure.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #289013 Greeny (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 502 Re:starter jet 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Found a post from Musky like a year ago on this. He said only the 99's had a hole in the starter jet. Not sure what it's purpose is, especially if it doesn't have a hole in it.

Only thing I can think of with the starter jet with a hole was allowing a bit of air into the mix as well, so it would not be overly rich, maybe Yamaha found that it's just better to just dump gas?? I could be wrong, but it wouldn't be my first time either. lol   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #289069 DEC from MO (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 74 Re:starter jet 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Thanks Guys, my bike is an 07,,so that makes me feel better,knowning that it is a solid jet,,,thought someone messed up in putting in a wrong jet,,, Thanks Dan   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #289093 iflyhilow (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 9 Re:starter jet 1 Year, 11 Months ago   is there a place I can check to see if my main needle is in stalled wright I took the carb of to get the numbers on the jet.
