MY ZX50 O.E.M CARB TUNING

[thebatman]

imagine that.....oh well.. maybe i wont have to do this again for a while  (thought that before too..)

[art]

If you had to deal with the arrache it would have been over the fence by now,I hade to do it several times for each jet and still Think i need the smaller pilot jet the one i didn't order!

[thebatman]

     now THAT is a dam good possibility...throw it, then go hunt for it an hr later....  well, i redid my jet back down today..idk what imma do here... i may have had the one i wanted.i drilled back out and run a small file thru a couple times..then my .965 bit(i turned backwards), came real close to fitting. the very tip did(blunt side). got nervous and filled it back again..lol..

[art]

The closer to that edge you can get the better of course you have to go over to find it! 

[thebatman]

sh**, i think im at the edge..lmao.. maybe after a bit more work, i could go to that next bit/cleaner...its abit lean but she ran good tho, even have it here where told it will run better lean... not sure of my altitude..like 2500??..idk...

[art]

You can use the smaller cleaner and file out a little at a time ,don't need to jump to next,so far none of the cleaners have been perfect,got to widdle it's allways right in between,so far.

wondering if this carb could have any bearring on my new, HEAVIER "race variator".....

[art]

I Don't know about the weight but for mine the mid tuneing became more important to the whole process,still not right yet! Got a whole bunch of stuff to try,but all will be on hold for a bit got the parts for a buddies bike I got to put together to get it out of my garauge!!! amoungst all my other projects

[thebatman]

well, a real dumb ?...... when you say mid, bottom, thats the posistion of the throttle, correct?......i rarely ever take off with 1/4 throttle..i usually just twist and go....lmao.. i have noticed that alot of these setups i am trying dont really have much except top...

[art]

Correct the position of the needle jet and size of your pilot are like a ramp to the main jet and the smoother the transition the better it works with the cvt. I was running much the same way and it did not matter untill I started tweaking the cvt. A couple of adjustments (fine tuneing) for the mid and bottem made a big improvement to how it turned the cvt. Now if I could could get a handle on the rest of it damn springs and things!

[thebatman]

see that sux, i cant learn THAT part yet....my needle is non adjustable, and the pilot is non movable...can only upjet... 

[art]

They are but not by conventional means,i hear the (buzzer or zinger)somthing like that. A popular wet bike / quad motor has all the jets necessary,not familiure with the brand.Through my machinest if interested i'll get some more info. For me had to make it happen get a good look at it  and some of that mountain stuff    Get creative!

[thebatman]

not sure if i heard of it but sure find out anyway, thanks... yeah, a "honkey hook up"........RLMAO.....   id hate to break that pilot, that would way suck, as much trouble as i had to even get it back to normal in the beginning! whoa, that blowed..lmao

[art]

Ha! I opend the pilot on my stick build all i managed was 3 1/2 turns out to make close ,but iknow i have the fuel nessicary now. The needle was a little more involved,but a  couple beer can shims did richen it just about right,Means nothing now waiting on the full machine service now           That otta be any day now,right Ha! It's on the shelf again.

[thebatman]

the hole on mine dont go STRAIGHT thru if im not mistaken.  i thought maybe honning it a bit but i wouldnt want any shavings to be stuck..goes up into the four atommizers then ?. i may have long idle again,lmao check other thread...
