Can I get better milage

[Tri-ZNate]

My SXs go through gas like it's candy at halloween. If I put a smaller carb on it will it help me get better mileage or is that just wishful thinking? Any help would be appreciated.

ive never had any gas problems with my sx thats wierd

I can only go about 15-20 miles on a tank while my 350x will do about 40-50 miles on a tank. Just wondering if I could improve it.

thats weird they have a similar gas campacity as a 200x and my 200x goes along aways(well, not after I'm done with the ported head, cam, etc) you doing trails or open stuff? that could have a effect.

i normally trail ride but I also travel on our dirt road in front of our house. Its only like 2/5 of a mile. What does a dial-a-jet do for ya?

yah i think trailprotrailpro runnin to rich that might be trailprotrailpro problem,that or trailprotrailpro floats are set wrong and spittin gas out the over flow when trailprotrailpro riding. a 350x should eat more then trailprotrailpro sx

a dial-a-jet fine tunes trailprotrailpro machine pretty much..it takes the excess fuel and mixes it with air and sprays into trailprotrailpro intake unlike the carb where it just runs straight in no mixing with air..it also gives better throttle response...and the best part..u dont have to change jets in the colder wheather..just click the dial on the mechanism and it makes more! ..its a great little item to have ..i forgot the website for it but im sure someone knows it

This sounds good ive seen a bike lay a trail of fuel from the bowl and run OK.

I doubt I'm runnin rich because I have the air box cover off. That should make it leaner right? Anyway I'm gonna take the carb off and clean it today. It probably has some rust or other good stuff from the tank in it.

I was just going to say that, the carb may be the problem. Good luck and ridereds rightm your 350 should take more than your sx

Clean it with brake parts cleaner it cleans good leaves no residue and it doesnt mess up all your carb gaskets like a carb cleaner does

[Tri-ZNate]

yep a little rust was making the float stick, thabks guys.
