The acceleration is much more linear now but it does misfire a wee bit if a retard the throttle suddenly but if I keep the throttle where the "play" begins for the accelerater(or a little more) then there is no misfire.
If I do go one size up on the jet, what size do I go for and much should that cost ? |
@RVD: Looks like my answers have not been helping you much . When the engine is running rich your spark plug will get fouled, which will lead to starting problems. Other symptoms could be erratic idling, over revving, dark smole in exhaust + smell of petrol, low fuel efficiency to name the main ones.
There are some meters to check the exact Air/Fuel ratio, but mostly the setting is done by feel. Setting up the carb is more an art than a science, and each person may have a different liking. My mechanic has never done the settings to my liking. I always end up changing it based on my driving style and preference.
If you have slight popping, it can be rectified by adjusting your air screw and idle setting screw. Jets are VERY cheap (20 or 30 rupees), but provides excellent performance improvement. Usually jets are advanced in jumps of 5, meaning, if you have a size 15 pilot jet, next you would try a size 20, then 25 and so on. If your main jet is a 105, you could try a 110 or 115. I currently have a size 20 pilot jet and a size 140 main jet. So, the choice of jets is not set in stone.
Infact, I have a few main jets such as 110, 115 & 125 with me that you could try and see if it makes a difference. I think I have 25 and 30 pilot jets as well. PM me your number and we can hook up. |
