7ESKY9 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 those jets tune the idle air/fuel mixture/emulsification/etc just roll blocked off its pretty commonalso your carbs would like to be fed 2-3psi fuel pressure, if it sits and idles then starts smogging up and cutting out its too high ok it runs good at idle and revs 2 about 3500 to 4000 rpm then starts coughing and spitting.

7ESKY9 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 any1 on here good at tuning bike carbs ive got a set of balancing gauges any ideas on what stuff should be set at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 all level do the left pair then the right then balance the 2 sides (there is an adjusting screw on each linkage) also check the float heights (info found online etc) it could be leaning out from its transition to main jet so try lifting the needle up a clip (lower the circlip) see if it improves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizzl Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 has anyone with a pinto with bike carbs noticed a power gain from these on a stock motor? i plan to do some work on my motor at some stage and bike carbs are starting to look lush.... from what ive read on uk sites, a 36mm set up at minimum...

fordcapri1980 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 ive got r1 40mm sitting at home havnt got round to putting it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 a healthy pinto with R1s full zorst system and a little more timing advance should be making 150hp or there abouts 36mm is a pretty good starting block and you probably wont feel a huge power gain if you upgraded to R1s but you would get a bigger kick in the balls/more aggressive power delivery than the 36's which would be much nicer to daily PS you can pick up a set of 36 miks for between $50 and $80 if you keep an eye out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 petrol, that reminds me. fire proof your engione bay during tuning as there will be ALOT of petrol getting thrown back out of the carbs while driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
