Title: Pilot jet size on 97 savage
Post by srinath on 03/16/20 at 09:50:28

I opened my bike to find a 52.5 non bleed pilot in it.
What is the original, I thought it was 47.5 non bleed.
I looked but cant find the sizes on this site, I know its there but I just cant find it.
Has it been rejetted ?
What mains should I have, cos well mine is covered in crud, I need to clean it to read it, and being a freezing cold day, I am not venturing to do that today.

Cool.
Srinath.

Brilliant - so it is stock - or might be, perfectly good so I can tweak away from here LOL.
Cool.

Most people tend to jet richer than stock but I say experiment. I found my bike runs best with a 47.5/147.5 combo with a 3/4 or zero white spacer mod. Runs great in cooler weather up to mid 80s. Little rich on top when it gets hot and muggy. Otherwise, it's crisp and brisk. It pulls strong to 75 and will stretch into to low (to mid?)80s. I get about 50 mpg on the nose out of every tank.

Bike is stock mechanically with a dyna muffler. Elevation in my area 500-1100 feet. I'm 6'3" and 250-260 lbs. I put about 6k miles a season commuting to work and my bike actually runs a little better in cooler weather and doesn't backfire at all other than a little poof on shutdown. It has to get into the low 40s and below to run lean.

The PO had a 55/155 combo in it. Sounded great with the Dyna, but it was a turd, got about 35 mpg and left the carbon all over the rear brake arm and faceplate.

That's my experience. Good luck with yours. :)
