    question regarding the carb needle

    by willflyforfood » Tue Oct 26, 2004 9:08 pm

    What is the difference between the stock needle and the one listed on the jetting chart at Big Guns website (pn# 16012-KPS-921)? The reason I ask is I just installed a Big Gun exhaust and a Twin Air filter, rejetted with a 110 (I ride at altitudes, that's why I didn't go with a 115) and moved the clip down one position on the stock needle. Do I need to get that other needle?

    Don't think you NEED a new needle. With the new exhaust, you'll need to run a little richer and by raising the clip position, you've already accomplished that. If you're still a little lean, I'd go ahead and get the next size needle rather than raising your stock clip any further.

    how's the off-idle throttle response? if it's not bogging then you're at least not too rich. at the altitude you're running i'd be suprised if you're lean. how's the motor running?

    Finally went riding today, the bike runs great!! :D Throttle response is amazing, acceleration is alot quicker now. Exhaust is alot louder, I used to hear my buddy on his TTR125L when he was near me, not now. I checked my plug after 1/2 hour into the ride and it was dark brown, almost black so I think the jetting is dialed. I posted a photo in the photo album "your ride" section, check it out.
