Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
kawdude:
Mo better. I haven't had a chance to continue my jetting quest. Right now I'm at a 170 with the clip in the middle. I moved it there from the secound clip and noticed a response difference. Less snap. Not a lot but it was different. I will drop it back to a 165 and see what happens.
mjscore:
My 94 came with N82R as stock, is the N82M a leaner needle? According to the Kawaski web site it is not an option until later years. All I know is that no local Kawasaki dealer has one in stock so I will have to order it. Mine will only run with the clip in the first position and it surges on downhills. I have a 168 main with a 55 pilot and 2 turns out on the air screw.
kawdude:
I think the R is richer. The surges are coming from to much gas getting into the idle circuit. Adjusting the pilot screw may help. I don't know what you altitude is but dropping to a 52 pilot could remove the surges. On my 94 I had to replace the slide and lean out the pilot.
gowen:
Did replacing the slide help? I am thinking about that, just to see if it helps. I have a #6 slide, but the stock and what I have in it is a #7. But, no sign of being worn. Anyway, no reason just curious.
kawdude:
My slide had a ding in one of the corners so it did make a difference. Wasn't a perfect fix but lowering the pilot jet and fiddling with the air screw has helped bunches.
