how do I tell is my jets are stock?

[wirelessguy]

Looks like I'm still learning lots of stuff about my bike.
I've managed to remove my carbs for the cleaning but I'm curious if my jets are original/stock or not. What do I look for or measure.

Why be suspicious??? Well, PO did install a V&H street pipe on my bike but I'm not sure if that requires rejetting, though I think it might.
Anyhow, I had to remove the street pipe b/c the header was rusted out. It's been replaced with a V&H sidewinder head and pipe now.

Any suggestions about how to proceed would be appreciated.

Thanks.

There should be a very small number stamped on both jets, your stock main jet is a # 107.5 the pilot is a #45

These are stock jet sizes for an 82 1100ez, if you have something different than it has obviously been rejetted..

Sorry I don't have a picture I can toss your way, but jwhelen has it right, look for the small numbers on the main jet, which is sitting at the bottom of the carb, and readily visible when you remove the float bowl.

I don't have exact specs for your particular bike, but the '81 US version 1100E had 107.5 mains and the Canadian version '83 1100E had 112.5s. The Canadian bikes were known for being just a little richer (actually more properly jetted) than the US bikes, so I would guess that your bike's stock jets would be 107.5 or 110.

However, with your pipe on there, you should be two or three sizes larger than that. If you also have pod air filters, add another three to five sizes.

Steve,
The stock jet sizes were the one thing I wasn't sure and didn't see in the fiches I looked in. What fiche did you find the stock settings in for him?

I have an 82 1100EZ shop manual it lists the main at 107.5

Jet sizes should be in the manual you can download from BassCliff's site.At least if it's a Suzuki manual.The one I have has that information in it.

Duh sorry...where's the head slapping smilie at? For some reason I was thinking they were listed on the fiches as well.

Somebody posted an Excel spreadsheet some time ago that listed carb specs for most of the bikes.

I refer to that in cases like this.

Thanks, I'll take a few of those tonight.

Especially after leaving the bike outside without a cover (tank, seat, and side covers are off of it) and now snow is all over it. Unfortunately the old cover is all torn up from the wind and my tarps aren't in any better condition. Hopefully nothing will be ruined. Engine is covered up by trash bags though.
