MY ZX50 O.E.M CARB TUNING

[sidthesloth]

You got it going now batman, just leave it until you get your pipe back on, then I would ride a couple of days to see how she reacts. I remember the stock carb as being a mongrel to get at the jets, that coupled with having to drill out/solder up would be an excercise in frustration. But you must be imune to that now?

But you must be imune to that now?

..i mean...lol.. FOR REAL!!!..

   

[thebatman]

for sure...my sh** is tiny, as you know.   even the ppl/s9 come with a 16mm, i have to have a 14.   oh well huh, at least its a kymco!.        man, now i am hoping my rs pipe leans it a touch, a few shades anyway., just  a shade or 2.                   yeah sid, it is a pain but yeah, it dont take me but a few minutes now to take off, jet, replace, start.     it shouldnt take me long as many times i have taken it off...i had to replace the bolts and nuts on the carb yesterday, done messed em up with so muxh off an on.

                                                                    i know thats right!!...

What I meant by that was the frustrations you have had, doing the jetting would be a relief. If the people / S9 have a 16mm carb you might be able to hit up art for one? He's a people person, Sorry wordslinger, I only borrowed it.

..lmao...i'd share with everybody...lol

[thebatman]

oh yeah, he did have a modded one awhile back....hmmm......, well, its not like i have the spare cash yet this week...                     oh i understood what you meant sid, it is a pain in the ass.

[thebatman]

hey word, so you mean that the closer winter gets, the jetting will lean out more??

  Ha! I do have an almost complete people carb. I had to cut the throttle cable out of the top cap,not sure if the zx cap fits the people. If it does I'd need a little something for it.Shipping + $20   
 The colder it gets + moisture there is less oxigen in the air. less air = ritcher condition.
 Don't dwell on it at this point get tuned the best you can while all is working.

...not sure about the moisture factor, but cooler air contains more cfm of oxygen than warm air...

[thebatman]

i can go snap a pic if word will post so you can see if the same cable setup.....             

[sidthesloth]

I dont think the cable would be a problem, but the throttle slide would be larger.

  Ha! it gets tricky but to my knowledge, when Colder there is less burnable oxigen availible,usualy colder do to more moistere in the air. Now i'm sure some one other than me could explain it more scientificly. But we always downjetted for the cold winter rides and up for summer with the dirt bikes and it did make a difference.

  I do have the slide Just the cap is toast  . I think it's a 16mm but not sure,have also tapped the attomizer for the keihn 7mm jets i believe.

[thebatman]

i may have missed somethin just now....now word, the way you say, you need to UPJET with cooler temps, but art just said, cooler air makes it ritcher, which would mean DOWNjetting, correct..... this sounds like a contridiction, unless i have missed something.......
