I assume that means I need a bigger pilot. Im going to shim the needle in the am after I pick up some bolts to put the bowl back on after removing the tamper proof ones. Will the pilot jets you guys have in the kits not work with this carb ?

Nope. I ordered PZ30 main/pilot jets and these pilot jets are way different. Only info I was able to find (and that was only in a listing for jets) was "cold start jets". So maybe we have some new breed of PZ30??

If I have to change the pilot jet this carb is history I will get the Mikuni unless I can find the pilot jets

Do you have a link? I have three Mikuni's now and even with my special tool to get to them, it's still kind of a pain.

One of the problems with the Keihin is that each series of carburetor seems to have a totally different pilot jet (Keihin calls this a "slow jet"). There is a reason that Mikuni is so popular as an aftermarket carburetor. It works, and it is easy to find both jets for. And, if necessary, also different throttle slides with more/less cutaway. More cutaway = lessor Accelerator pump type action. Less cutaway = More accelerator pump like action. But throttle cutaway is the next to the last adjustment you make....ARH

Well....Couple things here. Ive had the tank off and the sending unit out several times (due to the excessive rust in the tank my bike showed up with). While waiting on the replacement tank I gave mine a muratic acid cleansing that worked great. However, after I had it all buttoned up and was installing fuel I noticed fuel steadily dripping onto the garage floor. My fuel sending unit was leaking fuel where the wire goes threw the unit.
Flustered since I've had this out too many times already I removed the sending unit and blocked it off. (picture) I also installed the 110 jet into the stock carb, also added a washer to the needle to richen it up a tiny bit and while it ran / worked great, I personally did not notice a "huge" difference. Maybe I'm expecting it to run like a 400?? (it runs great) but the power still felt the same to me.

Regarding the mods, no....it won't turn your bike into a 400.....but it will most definitely make it more responsive and have more even power across the band. Don't forget the real upside to these....the dang things will run forever and sip gas. ;-)

Yeah, I'll admit, The fuel gauge was part of the *bling* that I liked about the bike. But I'm over it. One less thing to go wrong later. And now when it does I dont have to shamefully day "the gauge on the china bike quit..." LOL
The bike runs awesome and its still getting broke in as Ive only put a little over 200 miles on it.

It's kinda useless anyway. Mine read Full for 100 miles then it dropped and bounces between empty and 1/2 tank LOL

Hey Big Weld! How about a shot of that cool tail bag please? I'm thinking of mounting one to our TT250. Did you just run the long straps under the fender??? Any strapping tricks? Thanks!
