3beejay3,

What carb came on your bike, new AS II or older screw top AS I ?

[Jakobi]

I see a 2K3 and an older carb. Can tell by the deep bowl on it. I'd be interested to know if you got one of those flashy CDI units.

In terms of spares/accessories, this is what was in the crate:

Plastic container with 1 needle, 1 pilot & 4 mains.
Extra XC graphics set, with rim graphics.
Tool kit with GasGas fanny pack.
Hand guards(not heavy enough for the type of riding I do.)

Bike is now insured and street plated.

Haven't pulled the tank off to verify, but from the side it looks like the one in Glenns pic in the other thread.

I'm not yet familiar enough with the Airstriker carbs to know which is which yet. This one appears to have a screw top though.

The ASII has a shallow bowl and a flat top. See attachment.

You can tell which flywheel you got by checking the position that the cables leave the case. At the 2pm position its a 2K3, and at 10am its 2K2. Also visble in the attachment.

Have they moved the CDI from out of the airbox now? Looks like you might have scored a 2K2 if you didn't get an e-start. I think thats swell that Glenns bike arrived just how he wanted it.

BJ got the estart bike, so it's a 2K3. I would have expected the AS II on an estart bike, with the AS I on race models. Obviously there was a shortage of AS II carbs OR the factory decided the older version was the better unit.

History tells us the AS I is easier to jet.

I doubt they selected the carbs using any logic and more so on availability. Same thing happened in 2011 with 36/38mm ASII. Different numbered slides (with/without the notch). Varying degrees of spacers and mounting setups. Some with philips head fasteners, others with allen heads. With all the variables no wonder we all ended up with different jetting specs, but not denying the ASII is sensitive to minor changes too.

It seems Gas Gas is a low priority to Keihin and as such either takes what its given or whats available after the other big buyers take their cut.

Jakobi, what is the difference between 2am and pm or 10 am and pm on a dial clock? are clocks in OZ different? My clock is in the same position at 2am as it is at 2pm.
