Default N1EF w/#9 slide

I understand the lack of love for the stock N1EF needle, it can "blubber" (run rich) at 1/4 throttle or so and then when it cleans out, there is a "hit".

I tried to get rid of the lean spot by going down on the pilot, but then got a hanging idle. Coming down on the main leaves it too lean up top.

This diagram - which was very helpful - showed that at lower throttle openings (excepting the very bottom) the slide cutaway actually has more of an influence than the pilot jet.

So I decided to that since I had a #9 slide in my '05 GG I might as well swap it out and give it a try in the 2018 (XC 300). Worked like magic!

FWIW the '05 carb was modified by Ron Black (RB Designs). He put a divider plate in that carb, and sent it back with a #9 slide. So there is some precedence for using the #9 in a 300.

I'm running 38/175/clip #2.

Bottom line -
Someone else needs to try the stock needle with a #9 slide and see if I am just imagining things. IMO this is a really good setup!

Slides are quite expensive. An NEDJ is like $15.

I agree. There are not many people with a #9 slide sitting around, and you can get great results for less dollars.

I would expect better results too. Too thin a needle at the top will result in big harder to atomise blobs of gas being sucked past where they should have come up the pilot in a spray.

How the hell do you manage to get the GasGas airbox to fit around that?

Is that why you had to bend that bolt in the centre?

At the same time I say that - I've had a well-jetted KDX, a good running '05 GG 300, and a Sherco with NECJ jetted almost to perfection (at least, my understanding of it!). This setup is better (for my riding style, etc.). But I must admit that I have yet to finish playing with the N3CH/N3EJ needles sitting in my jetting box.

I'm planning to be at a ride at the end of the month with a bunch of guys, so maybe I'll get a couple of them to give it a try - and take some time to tune the N3CH as a comparison.
