Valvoline heavy duty diesel oil. 15w-40 because I had a gallon in my shop. I will probably switch to the that oil that reminds me of Nutella next year. I also used DOT 3 brake fluid because I also had some of that.

Hawk250 stock carb is just as good the 35 dollar mikuni carb.

You will have to upgrade both of them.

I would have bought the story if you had said you used the hydraulic jack oil in the front forks. But brakes?
Law suit oil from Dollar General has to be better than what came with the bike.

That's why I prefer the Mikuni. You can get pilot jets for them. I don't know where you go to find pilot jets for a Keihin or the clone Sheng Way.

It depends on the Keihin clone; some will actually accept Keihin jets. Mikuni carbs (even fakes) will always accept Mikuni jets, IME. A Keihin clone that will accept jets you can actually find is worth keeping.

Does that mean that some Keihan clones will accept the Mikuni pilot jet? Is there a way to tell the difference? I was just about to write another article on Hawk Talk, explaining why I reccomend the Mikuni carb, but I'm going to hold off until I can find the answer to this question.

You can find the answer at www.jetsrus.com, since they post the dimensions of each type of jet.

I always try to be polite, but I could not even find a pz30 carb on that site.

Thanks for being so well-mannered. The rest of the story is that you'd need to measure a jet in question, and compare it with the dimensions posted on www.jetsrus.com. In other words, I can't tell you if a Mikuni jet would fit a Keihin clone unless I had a Keihin clone jet to work with. What complicates that is Keihin clone carbs are inconsistent, whereas Mikuni carbs always use the same jets, IME.


The typical 30mm Mikuni carb that several of us know and love uses N100.604 Large Round main jets and VM28/486 slow jets.

Yes, that's why I reccomend Mikuni VM26 carbs for an upgrade. I personally am not interested in trying to figure out which jets can be made to fit a pz carb. I want to buy a handful of main and pilot jets, sit back and relax, knowing my jetting problems are under my control for the foreseeable future.
