Do you want to part with the rm needle

[Diggs345]

Right my needles are here , any tips on where to start with my as2 carb in a 300 , just above sea level and around 70 degrees f

Which needles you working with?? My method for anything is basically the same. Needle in the middle clip. Big rich safe main jet. Slide only just open. Air screw 1.5-2 turns out. Change the pilot jet until the bike starts easily and idles well. Fine tune with Air screw. Then work on the needle clip position. Its most noticable 1/4 throtte through to 3/4 throtte. Finally dial the main in if required.

Not sure what to expect with the CCK/CEK. With the rm needle I'd suggest 42 NEDJ#3 175 as a starting point.

When i had a 40 pilot in and the needle dropped to number 1 it wasnt so bad

That's exactly what i'm talking about. Last time I rode I went with JD"s recommendation 40p 180m blue needle. Bike was way to rich up top so i'll try a 175 back in it this weekend.

No worries mate!

I'm a shift worker so my sleep patterns are a bit all over the shop to say the least. I sleep when I can

If you are winding out the air screw, you need to decrease the pilot. You want more air/less fuel in the pilot circuit.
