Ok, guys, I know this has been beat to death a bit but I'm getting a bit frustrated with the PJ's choke/idle speed combo knob.
Standard jetting recommendations for this carb are genereally 50-55 pilot and about a 155 main. At this point I have a 35 and 155, idle mix about 1 1/4 turns out. I put in the 35 because it was the only pilot that i could get it to idle with, and then only with the idle speed all the way up, giving it basically no choke. That's ok for the moment because it will start without it.
The problem is that it has very little low end. No holeshot, a stocker can beat it off the line with the right rider. Won't pop a wheelie. This annoys me considerably, lol. BTW it screams on the top end and I just did a leakdown and fixed some leaks. Throttle response is improved but low end power still kinda sucks.
My gut says put in a fatter pilot, but idling is important. I see some guys adjust that with the cable, and I'm starting to lean that way, but obviously that isn't how honda did it, and they used them for years on CR125s and TRX250Rs. So PJ users, please weigh in on how you have dealt with this prob or whether it gave you a problem at all
