If you use bad words like petc0ck the word filter will edit it for you As for mufflers. Run any one you want. Short, long, it doesn't matter. Just make sure you get the jetting right. Too lean will be harmful.

f*g only means homosexual in US English. To the utter amazement of our American friends here, in UK English f*g is slang for cigarette and for the tail-end of anything about to die out, as in "f*g end of the lease" meaning its final years, or "fagged out" to mean very tired. For the English it has no sexual connotations at all.

What I didn't realise was that the PC gurus had worked over the words I'm allowed type on this forum. Eek! Big Brother is reading me.

Meanwhile, back on the real subject of the thread, if I read you rightly, making the change of muffler without changing the jetting is a bad idea. I had wondered about muffler + K&N as a first stage (easy-peasy wrenching) giving more air in and more air ou, then working on the carb when I get a bit braver. That would inded mean a leaner mix of more air with the same amount of fuel. So is it the whole lot at once or nothing at all?

It doesn't like b1tch (and changes it to pregnant dog) nor sp00n (which it transmutes to spoon). If it sees c0ck, p00n, and similar subsets of other words, it changes them to "thingy".

It's already very lean to begin with, so it's not a great idea to make it leaner. Changing only the air filter and leaving the stock exhaust will retain the muffler bottleneck and would have minimal effect. Personally, I would do the idle mixture first, then the white spacer mod and air filter change, followed by the exhaust change and rejet (along with a readjustment of the idle mixture at the time of the exhaust change).

It sounds like he needs to use a gasket (or some sealant) at the header to muffler joint as well as tuning the carburetor.

-OR-

Suena como él necesita utilizar una junta (o un poco de sellante) en el jefe al empalme del silenciador así como templar el carburador.

I hope the translation was decent.

Thanks Savage_Rob!!! Cheesy

I'm sure that the problem with the joint is the gasket (or I hope this Embarrassed

)
What kind or sealant can I use for these temperatures?

Do you think if I change the main jet to a 152.5 and put half spacer it can run better? I want to change air filter but here in Spain is veru difficult to find a K&N...

Sorry if there are a lot of questions.

Thanks for all and greetings from Spain 8)

Hola Bryner. Que pasa ? Grin

Exhaust sealant:

I used this between my muffler and header and it has been good for a year so far.

Much better. Check your main jet size though. Your Euro model may be different than our US models <--- Somebody may need to translate this.
