carb pilot screw adjustment - super sherpa

Is there a plastic kit available anywhere for the KLR 650 that is not the hideous green they have been making for the last few years? Maybe a nice black kit? Or does anyone have any ideas about painting the plastic so it won't chip and crack when flexed? Thanks a bunch in advance. Josh kayak_shack@...

Flexible bumper paint should work fine. They sell bumper paint and primer at Pep Boys. Not much of a color selection, but, no surprise, they do have black. -Lujo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hey!!! Let me know if the paint job is successful. My Green Machine has like a white film over it and I need to find away or a product out there that will bring back the new nice green machine shine. Anyone out there have any hints? RLTW!! --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

"Best idle" is one name for this, there are probably others. Setting idle mix this way has served well on all the carby'd vehicles I've had.

[...] Changing to a larger pilot would not be so drastic if the air jet for the pilot system were changeable. A bit of drilling might work but you can only adjust one way easily. I suspect that Dynoject recommend their setting partly to compensate for faster lift of the CV piston due to their spec larger hole. With a faster lifting piston, there is less time for a higher vacuum across the needle jet to pull some extra fuel emulsion as the throttle opens. [...]

Agreed. Even EFI has some kind of cold start enrichment. [...] Mister_T Melbourne Australia
