STAGGERING JETS?

[lewisdale]

JUST LOOKING AT MY CARBS AND THE MAIN JETS ARE #102 ALL THE WAY ALONG, IM SURE IVE READ SOMEWHERE ABOUT STAGGERING THEM? ARE THEY BETTER TO BE STAGGERED OR LEFT HOW THEY ARE? ALSO IF THEY ARE BETTER STAGGERED I TAKE IT THAT IT WOULD GO #98 #102 #98 #102? AS #98 IS STANDARD? THANKS

have you borrowed that other lads keyboard with the dodgy capslock key?
i think the idea with staggering jets is to run the 'hotter' cylinders richer. richer being cooler. so you would run the inner 'hotter' two slightly bigger mains.
we tried it on my engine and it was'nt as good. I think it makes a difference on the v4 hondas, cos the rear two do run hotter.

Sorry bout caps lol, so im better leaving the jets as they are then?

i would yeh. No need to complicate it. put them new carbs on and see how it runs, then go from there.

hi mate havent got the new carbs, according to the bloke i bought them off parcelforce have lost them, so im going to replace a few of the jets in mine that are chewed up and my mixture screws as the pointy ends are bent on a couple of them, i alsp realise the spring that goes on the centre of the diaphram was upside down, i.e the platic bit that holds the needles in place was on the top instead of the bottom so the needle could bonce around allit liked, would this cause my problems?

just looking in the manual and parts microfiche at the main air jet and pilot air jet, they look like they unscrew in the manual and microfiche but i can find any on my carbs? there just two brass tube type things?? am i missing something?
