Who's running VM33 smoothbores?

[renobruce]

I'm looking for some ballpark specs to set my 33's up with. I'll be running them on a 78GS1000, 1085 kit, ported head, V&H or Yosh 4 into 1. Looking to see what others have theirs set up with. I need main jet, pilot jet, jet needle position and needle jet numbers if anyone has them. My set also has the 1.5 cut aways.

Anyone?

I'm in the same boat (but with 15 more ccs :-) ) The Sudco Cataloglists the following baseline for GS1000/1100:
132.5 Main Jet
.6 Air Jet
17.5 Pilot Jet
6DJ30-4 Jet Needle (is that clip fourth from the top? or from the bottom?)
261 O-6 Needle Jet
2.0 Throttle Valve
3/4 out Air Screw

I bought jets to go to this baseline, from the teeny ones my carbs had in them, but I've got the 1.5 throttle valves too, as they're ~$80 each, IIRC.

Yes, I have that document. I wonder how much effect the ported head will have on those settings. I think the 1.5's will be ok, because IIRC they are richer than the 2.0's.

From my experience on my 1105 Kawasaki its 1 or 2 sizes rich on the mains. They were way too much of a pain in the ass except running wide open for me and I traded for a set of 29 smoothbores. I think the 33s would be too much for a 1000, not enough air velocity. Just my opinion though, Im no expert

Was your head ported?
