    Ok which jet is which?

    I have taken the carbs apart at least a dozen times and I know where all the jets are but Im confused. I bought a stage 1&3 jet kit and was wondering if the 118 is the main jet for stage three? That seems a little small to me. I have four 118, four 114, four 165 and four 170. Some air jets and needles. I have a gs1100g with pods and a four into one. other than that the only mods are a dyna ignition and paint. What should I start with Main jets and needles? The PO had the 170's in the back of the carb (I guess this is a air jet) and the 118's in the main jet is this right for a stage three. I was thinking around 122.5 for the mains? Oh yea should I drill out the slide lift hole or not?

    I would have suggested you put in the 170main jets, but since you have new paint I will need to know what color it is? Any pin stripping?

      Electric Blue debating on white pintriping! So the 170's should go in the main jet. It seems I have two air jets one is for the pilot (small one) and one ist for the main air (big one) is that right? What should my main air be? Currently the main air is 170 and the main jet is 118 do I have those backwards? Oh yea Thank Yous to all this site is Heaven Sent!

        Did you see the 3103 directions?

        DCO301 is the Main Air Jet

        170's are the Main Jet with pods/pipe (Stage III)

          Tap in the main air jet corrector.
          I'd start with the 170s
          Start with the needle jet on a notch one below the suggested spot. (raising hence richening)

                            The part that I am talking about has two jets and a passage that leads to the slide diaphram. I was told that the small jet is the pilot air jet and the big jet which is the same size as the main jet (physicly not in orafice size) is the main air jet. Is this correct? One of these jets screws out just like the main fuel jet. The other is tiny.

                              Use the stock pilot air jet.
                              Do not put the 170 main air jet in that hole. This goes in the float bowl.
                              Look at the neato pictures in your dynojet instructions and follow them.
