Help... 2012 EC 300 jetting settings...
Hi all,
Please help... We are riding in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus between 600m - 1,800m, with temps at 25c - 35c. ( www.ExclaimTours.com ) The 2012 EC 300 is running rich at standard settings (175, 42PJ, N1EF Needle at #3, 1 turn out). So tried yesterday 165, 42PJ, N1EF at #2, 2 turns out (as per manual setting chart). Still not great. Tried 2.5 turns out, which improved lower down response... but still not as sweet as our 2010 EC 300 Six Days. Help : What needle do I need to lean off from the standard N1EF needle. All advice would be greatly appreciated... Many thanks, Richard Last edited by richardexclaim; 07-29-2012 at 11:23 AM. |

You are very close to me in temps and altitude.
My 2011 EC300 is jetted with: 172 main N3CH needle #2 38 pilot. But I stay at and above 1500M, you may feel better at 40 pilot, #3 clip and even perhaps even a 175 main if you are pushing hard at the lower end of the altitude range you listed. In any case: toss that worthless N1EF needle. If needle availability is an issue, grab which ever stock 250 KTM, Kawi, Suzuki, or Yamaha needle you can find and after a couple of quick experimentation swaps of mains from 172 -178 you'll be close enough to be much happier than you are now...

Alternatively you could try a leaner diameter needle as well if you find the H a bit burbly. Others have had success with their 2012's using the N3CJ paired up with a 42 pilot.
You can also order optional half clip richer needle N3Ex to really fine tune it in. One Australian dealer is jetting their 2012 models with 40 N3EH#3 178 for sea level here. Suzuki needles NEDx and NECx also work well for a very clean and linear response but I personally find them a bit unexciting for my riding style. A quick search in the 2T jetting section will have you well and truly informed. Then you always have the JD jetting route as well which many have had success with too. |

Not a jetting issue... sticky power valve
Thanks all.
After trying numerous permutations and combinations (38, 40, N3CH, N1EG, 165, 168, 170, etc etc) it turns out that the problem was due to a sticky power valve!!! Thanks though... I now know nearly everything there is to know about jetting. Best Richard (www.ExclaimTours.com) |

That'll do it!
So what jetting did you settle on once you got the powervalve in order? |

How can I find out if I have a sticky valve issue or jetting adjustment ?
I have the same problems

Its easy to check. If its the powervalve its more likely to be an intermittant issue. Jetting should pretty much run poorly any time you run in certain conditions.
To check the action of the powervalve remove the pipe, the RHS pv cover, put pipe back on and run the bike on the stand. You will be able to see the powervalve move with the revs. You can also disconnect the actuator arm and check that the plate rotates freely. Check the freeplay while you're in there. Whatever you do though, don't roll it around with the arm attached, or pull up on the arm. You can dislodge a ball in the governor. |
