pilot jet

[twgranger]

How do i know if i have the right size piolt jet in my Z. What are the symptoms of a rich or lean pilot jet? I have the stock size in there now and when i turn the air screw out to about 2 1/2 turns then the engine will rev up alittle. I think 2 1/2 is to much but maybe im wrong. :wondering

The Pilot Jet and Pilot screw control the mixture in the closed to 1/8 throttle range..If you cant get the result you want between 1 and 2 1/2 turns change the pilot jet..The larger the pilot jet the richer you make it...Stock jetting is #35

I thought the stock jetting is 45 for the pilot?

[mywifeknowseverything]

Nope,,,,35

[twgranger]

Nope,,,,35
You sure because my haynes manual says 45.

My oem manual says 35 :confused:

My oem manual says 35 :confused:for an 85? :wondering

Mine is the 86 but the carbs should be the same...There really wasnt much of a change between the two bikes.
I may be wrong...TimSr would know for sure....
