I’ve posted a few times about this bike. Bought it a few weeks ago. Did quite a bit of road worthy maintenance / repairs on it before I could take if for its first test ride.
Idles good, low throttle stutters and extremely sluggish, 3k and above seems to run good.
Pulled right carb tonight to check jetting and air/fuel screw and overall cleanliness of carb.
This is what I found:
Main Jet #175
Pilot Jet #25
Fuel/Air screw .5 turn from closed
Carb seemed mostly clean had some crystal residue in bowl area and the intake was filled with an oily black layer from filter side.
Have a sonic cleaner so will do 2-3 passes on each before I put them back in.
What is proper jetting for the carb bike combo??
I know the F/A screw is way off. Should be 1.25 to 1.5 turns out correct??
I live in Tucson and elevation is 2.5k feet give or take 500 around town.
