Carb adjusterizing
Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:23 am
my ZXR rebuild is now almost complete, after riding the bike am a bit disappointed though 
two factors:
1) live in pretoria, south africa, so pretty high altitude.
2) seal/gasket between carbs and airbox was non-existent, blankoff holes in airbox were gone.
i made a gasket and plugs to seal airbox properly, float bowl fuel level has been set and carbs have been synchronised with vacuum gauges. pilot screws adjusted for best idling. after these changes engine runs smooooth and climbs thru the rev range without a glitch all the way to redline
prob is, not enough power (also slow throttle response in nuetral)
floods very easily, soot deposit in can exit, and engine dies if you touch choke while idling(warmed up). this leads me to believe that the bike is running too rich...
how do i go about re-jetting the bike? (i want to DIY the job)
if i want to simply buy a few jets in different sizes (4 of each), what do i ask for? do all jets fit all carbs or do i need Keihin cvk-d32 jets?
