permanent move to MUCH higher elevation
05/20/14 at 07:39:08

my good friends,

I tossed the white nylon spacer yrs ago (ran better thanks)
but that was @ sea level, now with this permanent move to 4500' I think it will be rich. I need to add some small spacer but don't have the original and don't want THAT much of a thickness anyway.

any suggestions on what thickness to start with? I know the idle mix needs adj but thanks to you all, that brass cover was removed Grin

motorcycles have been my main transport since 1974

The pilot jet controls mixture up to abut 1/4 thottle. The needle adjustement is the white spacer or washers you use...and that has effect from about 1/8th throttle up to about 3/4 throttle. The main jet has control from about 3/4 throttle on up.

You most likely will have to address all the jetting....not just the needle. In place of the white spacer you can use # 4 flat washers from the hardware store. Three washer is a good place to start.....drop down to 2 washers if you have a flat spot and surging just off idle - but only after making adjustments to the main and pilot jets first.

Someday I will be old......But not today!
