When I get this jet kit, how do I go about changing the jet ? I know I have to take the tank off to put the spacer back on, do I have to disassemble the carb any to change the jet?

Also, I don't remember exactly, but does the white spacer just sit on top of that rod, or was something on top of it ?

Thanks for the help.

I am going to try to do this tonight.

Reply #32 - 10/26/04 at 11:17:39 I think that you need to get a manual, but without one, you can still go to Ron Ayers and check the microfiche files for a breakdown. The spacer goes on top of the clip, and if you'll notice the picture above, the main jet is hanging there with the carb installed on the bike. It doesn't get simpler than that

I just want to make sure. I can open the carb and drop the spacer down on the pin without taking anything off correct ? The main jet can be done from underneath correct ?

This is getting to be a fun question but I believe the answer is yes. I think Greg was referring to the 152.5 in the above post.

Didn't you remove the spacer?

I am going to look for a 1/2 spacer today, and get the 152.5 jet. I hope to put those on later today. It's rainy so I probably won't be able to ride. A good day to work on her! I will see if I can find a manual today too.

Well, at least you admitted that. Most won't. That is one reason to always use a manual...if you can't remember what you did, but you followed the book, then you'll always know how to do it again.

Clymer at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, WalMart, from what I understand.

(with no manual) The old jet was a 144. The only thing I could find for a 1/2 spacer, or close to it, was a rubber O-ring. Is that OK to use? Thanks for the help!! Tim

I will see if I can find a manual at Walmart. By chance though, does the spacer just sit down on top of the needle, meaning I can take the top of the carb off and remove the spring, then just set the spacer down on there and close it back up?

Wait! Savage_Rob, help! Is a 144 a Dynojet size?

Please look real close and make sure that's not a 145 Mikuni jet

Is it kinda hard rubber? As long as it is gasoline resistant that should be fine. It is after all just a stop. Put it in a little gas to check. You wouldn't want it to swell up and become 2 times the size. That would be a step backward Tongue

You still have to take out the spring, diaphragm, remove the 2 screws, jet needle plate and the needle. No short cuts.

Take one last quick look for a small washer instead of that o-ring, just in case.

Reply #44 - 10/27/04 at 11:42:47 I stopped by my local dealer yesterday to get some jets and they told me they only stock Keihin - not Mikuni but they could order them. I just ordered them myself. When I get 'em I'll play some more.
