what do the Numbers mean?? 7 Months, 1 Week ago  
Here's a real quick question. The numbers on the main, what is richer... 165? or 190? I have a 165 in and my pipes are black and sooty. 35mpg. Just so I know if I have to buy a jet kit or not. Thanks.

The higher the # , the richer. MPG's can suffer from a variety of reasons though , not just jetting. BB

But wouldn't the black soot in the pipes mean rich?

It could be from warm up time on the choke , the spark plugs will give a clearer picture. BB

Unless you're on the 1/4 mile track you aren't spending much time on the main. You spend the majority of the time on the PMS and Needle. You need top look at those two IMO.
