new to forum. and dont know jack bout jetting. just got this '88 in mint shape but idling is a problem. bugger to start and air was set 1/2 turn out. i changed to 11/2 and adjusted the idle. it sputters/hesistates. have to turn idle pretty far in to keep it running. i have and fmf pipe. where should i go next. oh this should idle right. iv read that some guys like it bogging out with no idle. hmm. i want mine to idle. thx in advance for the help.

That's WAY rich jetting.

wow! the first thing i was going to do was get a hotter plug. that pilot will need to be placed or can i just do some adjusting with what i have. thx...again im a newbie. all info will help.

You should probably get an assortment of jets from Sudco. All the Kehin pilot and main jets for PWK carbs are the same, so if you plan on riding dirt bikes for a long while, it's good to get a collection of those little brass nuggets. Then you'll have them for future bikes, too.

The jets can get pricey depending on where you get them but I would start with getting something in the neighborhood of 40, 42, and 45 for the pilot and the main might be close. your elevation, temperature, ect will effect the jetting you need so you may need to go up or down from there.

It can be a little frustrating to get the jetting right but when you do it will be worth it.

well i'm putting a 45 in and picked up a 42...we'll see how she runs with the 45 first. replacing the petcock in the meantime. damn thing wouldn't shut off. thought bout rebuilding but noticed it was missing a post...only have a reserve filter post...if thats what they are called? gonna just replace it for a few dollars more. noticed the float is a little sloppy. hmmm... its in good shape. any thoughts. it peed prior... changing the petcock and cleaning the carb will stop this yes???? thx soooo much for your advice guys!
