BUY IT NOW: www.rollingwrenchdenver.com/p... Jetting your carburetor can be frustrating and a timely process, this video should save time and money on your project.
My dad was a WWII aircraft mechanic, I learned this from him. Use to do it all the time on 70's cars as a teen/20'ish age. Great money saver and if you are willing to try a bit at a time and try it out it works good. And like the man said if you open it up too much a bit of solder and go back down a size.
I especially like the info on cutting off a tiny bit of solder and heating the jet, as well as chucking the jet and using running it onto the drill bit! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing in that awesome video. I just picked up 4ea mountain sleds, and brain farted the first one by riding it without rejetting. It's toast now but was the ride of my life twin pipe 1998 arctic cat zr 600.
If you travel a bit with your scoot, having additional sizes with you isn't a bad thing if you go up or down elevation enough. That said, very nice kit!
Drill it shut? I literally just took a few hits before you said that and my mind was blown . I was confused but at the same time I knew what you meant, lmao my bad it sounded better in my head. Gonna try drilling the jet on my dirt bike tomorrow 👍🏽
Just to throw a "wrench in the fire" LOL, Twist drills do not make round holes. And, they often push metal rather than cutting it, if not maintained sharp. Have you never deburred a hole? Where did the burrs come from? Also, twist drills make holes bigger than their shank size. Round holes are made with reamers or are cast, possibly stamped in a die, as such. The jet orifice is not simply a hole size. If you use magnification, you will see that the jet is ramped both into and out of the restriction orifice, and the orifice wall is rounded, not flat. The reason is that these forms help to keep the fluid flow in a laminar, non-turbulent manner over a wide range of fluid speeds. Stepped orifice walls will introduce turbulence, often in a modal fashion related to fluid speed or the pressure difference between the orifice inlet and outlet. You've probably seen this effect with a garden hose nozzle, where at low pressure the outgoing stream is solid, but when the pressure is increased, an air pocket begins to appear at it's output. When the pressure is increased more, the solid stream begins to flail about wildly. Drilled jets often flow LESS at holes sizes larger than smaller sized properly formed orifices, when subjected to high flow rates. Precision, well formed, holes are seldom achieved with $3 tooling, unless you are not measuring, or not looking very closely. It is possible to use jet reamers and jet gauges to get much better precision when modifying jet orifices. Still, these may not flow as well as properly formed jets. But, there may be no alternative if a suitable source can't be obtained. OR you can just drill your jets an get Riding!
this is literally why i was scrolling through the comments. looking for the guy that knows what fucked up shit could come with just drilling a jet and sending it. thanks for your knowledge man. have a great day
Yes, that's something my father told me long ago. The entrance and exit as well as the actual hole. You will ruin a jet with a bit. Just buy another Jet.
Clock broaches are around 1° taper. Cutting broach is 5 sided, smoothing broach is slightly out of round with a roughed surface. Get some control in your experimenting with making a flow tank. Tip. You don't have to test flow with fuel, water will give a good idea of the flow rate. Record the time a given volume took to pass through. It's not rocket science. Those drills are 0.1mm increments which is a lot. Just remember π x r² for hole diameter and you are good to go. With the smoothing broach you can measure how far in it goes with a caliper for close enough, mark with a Sharpie where you want to be. Happy days. Diploma in horology and a '99 TC88 FXDL. I don't like the sound from EFi Harley but that's progress.
Thank you for posting this! I have 04 400ex with a aftermarket pipe. OEM Jetting Main 148 Pilot 38, the pipe calls for Main 158 Pilot 58 but no elevation chart to factor in. I have a few carb kits I can try this on. Elevation 1050ft
No no no sir lol don't change the pilot the pilot is idle only going up with the pilot will cause you a hassle I rebuilt mine and did the 416 and 11:1 piston stage 2 cam and I was listening to people in the forums so I went from the stock 38 pilot to a 42 with a 178 main and it ran so good except after it got good and hot it would shot off at idle and come to find out the bigger pilot was causing the stalling and shutting off the whole time even with the bigger bore and higher compression piston
@@benfranklin935 42 pilot you barely need the choke and won't be cold blooded. They have to pass emissions for the EPA so new they come too lean not the way honda would have wanted.... 178 Main WTF
Where can i get it and how do the hole sizes correspond to jet sizes? I have not a scooter but a yamaha banshee with pilot jets and main jets. So what size drill would get a 290 jet for example, is there a guide for that?
Might have found a couple old jets for basic generator type motor in trail bike that could use upgrade. Solder sounds great but I might just put a 1mm hole a .5 mm solder coating over the larger than ~1.5mm existing jet hole. Think there is chance it may even work better with greater spray cone than simple linear jet. Thx
yep been doing this forever. after i find the right size jet from drilling i just order that. probably over kill but i assume brass is stronger than the solder or that solder may not be all that great long term... idk but yup this is the way to go for sure
I have a 300cc icebear zodiac trike. When I went to put it into forward from neutral I pulled it too hard and now it wont go into forward neutral or reverse. Can someone plz tell me what to do next or where to go I stay in Maryland
Awesome advice the predator 212 engine on the generator runs rich it comes with a 76 i think and folks buy a 68 and it seems to work would the tube that the jet holds in the carb need resizing as well?
Learned the hard way that all jets are different, I just bought a real Mikuni VM22 and tried buy jet kit. Was able to find main jets but all pilot jet kits are for the knockoff vm22. I never tuned a carburetor so don't know what size I need so wanted a kit with multiple sizes but can only find pilot jets for mikuni sold separately so trying to figure out what sizes I need for my Vader 125
What Chinese 150cc scooter do you recommend? Are there any big Chinese scooters over 150cc? I saw another video of yours about the best quality Chinese scooter, but it was a 50cc model and the video is 7 years old. Thanks.....
New to tuning carbs and looking at rejetting my Honda spree after doing a full exhaust how will I know when I have the right size jet and how will I know if it's too large?
SOL if your doing a 40mm Keihin, with that kit ... some torch tip cleaning sets are an affordable solution also, being by the time i overshoot a jet, i know where i am at enough to buy one.
I have a 2 generac GP3000i that I need a high altitude kit for but Generac does not make a kit for these so is there a aftermarket kit for these generators? They are 149cc motors
I bought a jet kit but the main jets are to fat to change mine are small round. How do I get the small rounded jets? Because these are new but I can’t use them. . My main is 76 I want to go to a 80 or 82 to help it idle and run better it’s running just a little too lean. I get air fuel adjustment right and it just doesn’t idle smooth it is ether to fast or Boggs down and dies I don’t have a way to check rpms so I turn adjustable screw out to make it smooth but then it runs to rich and it’s a brand new carb but it’s not jetted right.
If you can keep track of what diameter your mystery jet is at, good for you, you may have saved some money. If not for the questionable surface finish from drilling like that, potentially making it out of round, or simply not needing a precisely sized jet, I'd be all for it as a machinist, but I'm just going to keep bringing back/trading jets I don't need. In the end, it's just another way of doing things.
I was just looking at a carburetor schematic for a 2001 Honda 400EX and I noticed something that I don't see anybody selling with these jet kits. If you look at the schematic for a Honda 400EX there's the number (38) JET, SLOW AIR (#110) they sell you pilot Jets for the air fuel mixture on a pilot jet circuit. They sell you a main jet. They may give you a needle or some needle shims which were only rich in it not lean it if you don't have an adjustable needle. But I don't see where they have this number 38. I never seen a car very quite like the one on the the 300 400 450 EXs I guess I'm just used to the older style carburetors but I would think if you're pulling more fuel through the system don't you need more of the slow air adjustment?
honestly seems like more work then just swapping out. in the long run what you pay for that bit of sadder and gas for the torch is a constant purchase, but having them jets on hand is a one time buy. easy to just swap out.
In some cases ya your right. In my case I would have to carry aver $800 in jets for all the different carbs . So it’s a nice little backup to have in your tool box. The best part of jet drills is they are more precise than jets. Jets go in 3 step increments. Jet drills go by each size.
I live in the Philippines and have a Yamaha YTX 125. I want to put on a different muffler, here they call them a "chicken pipe". Is it mandatory I rejet? Or can I just get a "tune up"? Do all exhaust modifications require re jetting?
I don't know if you have time to get back with me but I do have a question is it worth ncy direct coil on my GY6 150 I have and oml coil just asking getting tired of spending money on BS if you can get back with me just with a yes or no it will tell me everything waving my hand from Gainesville Florida
@@aidankilleen5889, don't get facts and opinions mixed up. The fact is that jets come in sizes of 3 and drills can go each step. Which would you rather have, sloppy but close, or perfect? Drilling is as perfect as we can get in the world of "Controlled leaks", otherwise known as carburetion. The OP is correct, rookie.
be careful of some of these drill bit sets, they can be completely mismatched and have multiple repeats of the same size in a box. Make sure you measure each drill bit with a mic before attempting, or make sure you didn't cheap out on drill bits. I got 4 of the same repeats for 3 different sizes. Luckily I had a #66 and a #70 but nothing else.
If you drill out an original Jet and change the orifice size then the next guy will have no clue what you've done and you have just ruined the "system" The next guy/shop thinks he's got a 78, but he's really got an 82..84..86 and is banging his head against the wall because it won't run. ultimately, it's because you couldn't spend a dollar on the correct jet size. Great tip!
All I'm going to say is Yes good idea but one must not assume drilled orifice will flow = 2 bought exact size because of flow bore length , good tune tip though to get it in Park 🤫
I searched tuning 4-stroke dirt bikes for elevation because I realized I lived in the city and I go way up in the mountains in my bike runs like crap and I'm a squid
Great 8nfo,if your working on steam locomotive built before 1848. Jets are precision made. Glad i work on my own crap and don't pay people to screw my shit up
My carburetor is running great but every hour or so it fouls the plug I was told to make my main jet smaller . can I Sutter it close and start with the next smaller bit size that is smaller then my original jet I’ve been dealing with this issue for about 5 years now. Just been popping in a new plugs Waisting time money and fun
i have a 200cc shineray dual sport,im at 2800ft elevation and im wondering if the 115 jet is good,stock is 102 and it bogs when u throttle it and overheats
Doubtful that it needs a larger size than stock. Take a spark plug reading and see what color it is. Google that process. If the plug is black, it is too rich. Whitish equals too lean. You want a slight brown color. Your bike probably doesn't need tuning. More than likely it needs a carb clean.
Jacob I have a CB 1100 F with stock filters but A 4-1 pipe . Your bike has to be running lean. There is a lot of information about your bike so that will give you a starting point on the jet size then increase jet size while monitoring Spark plug.Going up 4-5 sizes should be perfect for your bike.There is a lot of help out there for your bike read and learn from other peoples success and failures
It would be great to have a visual while you explain the items you're talking about. Words and explain things confusing, visual is easy for most people to understand the situation
Dude my dirt bike is a nightmare I have done 200 different jet scenarios and the God damn f****** thing just still does not run right it's sputters/hesitates really bad at about half to full throttle on acceleration
Do a compression test and check the valves. Also recommend a wide band 02 sensor so there is no guessing involved in tuning: www.rollingwrenchdenver.com/products/wide-band-o2-sensor-tuning-kit
