Help - 2007 EC 200 jetting
I have read evrything regarding jetting on this forum , the problem is I live in South Africa and have limited access to the different needles described in this forum . The local Gas Gas agents recomend and use a needle that canbe purchased from KTM agents - N3EH , however I dont think this needle works well in the 200 , but I might be wrong that is why I am posting to get advice !!
I have also tried a N3CG needle which is a little better but still not perfect , I know that it is richer on the straight portion and half a clip richer on the taper . I think these needles are too lean on the 1/4 to 3/4 throttle range , also when I do a plug check it is black and wet ( this confuses me even further . Altitude : 1600 m above sea level ( 4000- 5000 ft) temp : 40 -60 deg fahrenheit ( winter ) 70-90 deg fahrenheit ( summer ) currently in winter The humidity is low and quite dry especially in winter I use 95 pump gas unleaded and premix ratio of 40:1 full synthetic oil ( GRO) My setting with the N3EH needle was as follows : N3EH # 4 ( at #3 and #2 there is a bog or slight hesitation when giving throttle from low RPM's in the midrange , WOT there is no problem ) Main jet 170 Pilot jet 42 ( cant quite get the airscrew correct and idling was not great - settled on 2-21/2 turns out # 6 slide float level is correct plug was black and wet with these settings , My feeling was that mid was lean and top rich N3CG 34 ( also hesitation in the mid when cranking the throttle from low rpm's with #3 and # 2 clip positions ) main jet 168 Pilot jet 40 , airscrew 13/4 out , idles better now but not perfect This setting is better but I still believe it is not the best , Please advise me ,I am limited with needles here , I can get the JD jet kit but will take a couple of weeks , would this work? |

Why not order some of the needles others are having success with from the USA or Europe?

Those needles can be purchased from Sudco International
http://www.sudco.com/ What size is your carb? Seems some guys are having better luck with the 36mm carb. Also it never hurts to e-mail JD Jetting or RB Designs for help/suggestions. JD Jetting has great prices on slides and complete replacement 38mm PWK Airstriker carbs. Not sure he has the 36mm available but it never hurts to ask.

Go right to the source and e-mail Les at LTR Racing. I'm sure he can advise you on those 2 needles and if they will work in the 200.

I bought some stuff from Les a few years back after someone told me to forget email and call him. He's one of those people who don't do email very well for some reason. But he responded readily by phone.
