carburator questions 2009 klr

[dooden]

Your 2 1/8 turn out now ? typical starting point is 1 3/4 on most carbs. Hitting the sweet spot on the pilot circuit (idle mix some call it) is pretty easy to do, with bike warmed up and idling, start to turn the needle in until it starts idling weird, now counting the turns turn it out until it starts to idle weird again and stop, turn the needle back to the half way point and you have the sweet spot. I said long ago if I ever had to take the carb out I was going to drill the slide, but have yet to take the carb out, rotated it years back to drill out the pilot circuit cap. Dooden A15 Green Ape
