Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
Danger4u2:
What we learned today.
168 main
58 pilot
N82M needle
Needle clip centered in the 3rd slot
1.5 turns on the air screw
Elevation 1130
Temperature 43 Fahrenheit
This made his bike run well.
I should say well enough to determine his problem
is jetting or carburetor related not a motor problem.
His biked started on the 3 kick, sounded nice. This gives
us a baseline to start at. Need to test and do a plug reading.
What we "really" learned.
A well running SCF KX500 will wheelie on command!
When wheeling keep cargo pants pocket Velcro-ed shut
or you will dump your cell phone on the grass track.
I would like to say we let my old Labrador smell Umberto's
glove and found the phone but she's getting old and was having
fun digging for moles. We found it on the straight-away where
Mr. Wheelie was having fun.
umberto:
As well as the bike ran, I almost didn't mind losing my cell phone. :-D Thank you again Danger for letting me borrow your carb. It restored my faith in the bike, and I can't wait to get the new needle and jets to make it run like that all the time!!
umberto:
Oh, and my next purchase after the carb stuff is an over sized front brake rotor. I want to see God, not meet him. :-D
sandblaster:
I was considering building you and sending you a carb. I'm glad Danger was able to help you.
umberto:
Thank you Sandblaster, I really appreciate the thought. It was a great feeling to hear that thing sing for the first time. I was smiling from ear to ear all day.
