82gs1100 carb q

[Rein]

My 8v DJ kit came with 170 main for stage 3.

Dj jet size or mikuni?

[blowerbike]

early DJ kits had larger mains and blunt needles.
i'm pretty sure he has an early dynojet kit in his carbs.
he is in the US not the UK as far as factory adjustable needles are concerned.

Hey Terry
Where early DJ needles blunt?

[chef1366]

The DJ needles for the eight valve motors are blunt compared to the sixteen valve.
The 170 DJ main is only used with an air corrector in the main air jet. That changes everything for the main jet mixture.

It doesn't matter where you put the clip on the needle with a main jet that small. Get that dialed in first and then work on the needle jet.
Is there a brass jet where the main air jet is on your carbs? This is located on the filter side of the carbs around five oclock?

bill,
it just seems like at times a person asks questions and then talks about everything else but the answer they was given.
i have used DJ kits sense the late 80's..
they have changed and gotten better.
i have some old stock kits still.

OK but you'll win

I suppose it would depend on your definition of blunt. I have early DJ needles kinda blunt. Then I have adjustable mikuni needles (available, or at least were, through sudco) which are stupid blunt. Almost looks like they were clipped short but they were machined that way. So if his have little taper and stop all the sudden they would likely be MiC.. If not they's prolly DJ...

Yes It has a brass jet, but one is at 4 o'clock (Probably the one you are talking about) and there is another at 8 o'clock...that one says 170 and unscrews??

SOOOO you think I should fix the air leaks around the intake things??? I was going to take the carbs off and mess with the jets but I thought before I do all this crap lets start it and spray carb cleaner around the intake ports...well imagine my surprise when it trys to die from sucking so much c-cleaner down its gullet...so I'm gonna start over. In starting over what should I do first, sync the carbs? or put a bigger jet in and then sync with vacuum gauges? Oh yea I REALLY with anti seize would have been used on the assembly line, there wer 2 bolts that stuck so bad I had to dig 1 out and spent 2 hours with both me and my dad pulling our hair out (I'm 32 and he is 68 and need that hair!!!) Ok anyway got new o-rings and it runs like crap but I synced the carbs a week or so ago with the air leaks....

Just thought you guys and gals would like to know that after replacing the intake o-rings and tuning idle mixture screws I now need wheelie bars...took it for a cruise on the highway and pretty good so when I get off and take off from a stop light i rolled the thottle all the way open and shifted about 8500 -9000 and the front wheel pulled off the street pretty high and for an alright distance...surprised the crap out of me!! But still has a slite rich mixture around 3000rpm, gonna try dropping the needle unless anyone has a better suggestion...I down loaded a manual off basscliffs website and it says 108.5 is the stock main jet, whats up with that? everyone else says 120 - 138???????

107.5 is the stock main.
I'd go with a 138 Dynojet main jet. I have a set.

[antbanks]

Are you offering to sell them?

[chef1366]

Are you offering to sell them?

No they're all mine

Of course I'm trying to sell them. I can't use them anymore.

[antbanks]

HAHAHA well dang guess i'll never get a set of 138's I'm glad you guys have a sense of humor Just let me know whats easiest for you...unless its driving across the country

[TheCafeKid]

138DJ is 130 (roughly) Mikuni. Is that gonna be too big? I was thinking 122.5 - 125 Mikuni (maybe 132DJ?) might be where he needs to be??
