Last thing on my list of getting this tecate ready for the weekend is my jetting. I know you guys cannot jet it for me or tell me what to run, but I want to know if what I have is close to stock.
My bike is an 84 and and from all I the research I have done it looks to be a stock 85 34mm mikuni carb and it is running a 190 main jet.
Were I bought the bike is lower elevation than were I live and it seemed right on, my couple test rides here it seemed a bit rich both high and low and the plug was a bit dark and one ride before i cleaned it was a bit wet.
From looking at the plug I would say I am safe, just not optimum, but this weekend trip will be at the dunes than are very close to were I purchased it.
I would like to know what the stock jet size is, and maybe some advice to what you guys are running.
All my carb experience is with the Kein carbs, and I actually got a bigger kein (around 36mm) with the bike, but I want to go ride and have some fun this weekend then I will think about swapping them.
Oh and yes my stupid mikuni is leaking, as it seems with alot of others here that dislike them. I have adjusted and adjusted the damn float, I think I need to take the float "arm" thing off and bend it L shaped were it hits the needle. I will be working on that most of today...
