  • Jetting

    The set of carbs I'm cleaning up now had 137.5 mains, 45 pilots and 266 x2 emulsion tubes across the bank. I want to set them up for a stock E config. but was wondering about jetting for the missing 301 x2's. Do you go up one size or two for the middle carbs. I know someone else has tinkered with these and I know it had a 4-1 exhaust but still had the original airbox on it. You figure thats why the PO changed the pilot to 45 from 42.5?

      can't trust

      anything. When talking about emulsion tubes a table was posted and it was wrong. Can't trust the clymers manual and when I asked about jetting (see dazed and confuse) that table is apparently wrong as well. I give up.
