correct jetting for my 01 xc200 ?
Hi again,
This time I'm trying to get the low end power to be a bit better than it is. I got the LTR jet kit, and the power valve cover a while back and went riding ,not jetting. My bike runs well enough but it seems soft down low and I rode someone else's xc 200 and it definitely had more snap down low. My bike has the motowest pipe. It will run without the choke on right after I start it even on cool 40 degree(f) days. I ride at about 4000ft elevation and so I put the needle clip 1 position higher(2nd pos) than recommended in the instructions. I've messed with the pilot jets too and have the 48 in there now. Does anyone know what I could do to get closer to optimal settings as a starting point? I can't get the bike to idle without turning the idle speed (slide stop) screw way in. I know that probably means I'm idling off the main circuit. I was thinkoing that I might need a richer pilot to get the bike to idle correctly? I have been assuming(never a good thing!) that the higher # means richer as on the mains. By the way, I regreased all the suspension pivots and rode yesterday and man, was it nice. Alright, that's enough for now. I hope someone can help me and that I'll be able to return the favor eventually. |
normaly if you have to let more air in to get it to idle it means the pilot jet is too rich.
I have an ec 200 and im runing a 38 pilot and i still think its still runing rich. hope this will help.. |
Poor boy is chasing Gas Gas idling utopia we can expect many more frustrated posts! ;)
Having banged my head on this one like many of us I found I needed a much leaner pilot than expected to get close to a reliable idle. It still isn't right. Observing many discussions on the forums, mostly the original TalkingSmack, I concluded the slide is the key and needs to flow more air when shut. However they are expensive and I now have it good enough without buying a new slide although not quite spot on. |

As pointed out in speed addic message try leaning out the pilot jet. How many turns out is the air screw? |
airhead screw
ya,I forgot to mention that. The air screw was out 3 turns but I gotta say that I couldn't really notice a change from 2 turns out all the way to 3 and a half. I'm thinking of getting a selection of pilots maybe 30ish thru 40?
I love my gasgas anyway! NAT |
