190 jets seem a bit big, but i'm no mechanic or carb expert, k&n filters are tough to dial in properly, it can be done, but it takes time. a bmc road filter is a good compromise between the oem filter and a k&n...bazzashadow wrote:new plugs and oil filter about 500 miles, has 190 jets and k&n filter with rumas cans

Yep start with 190 when fitting a k&n
Re: Essex workshop day - Colchester - Sat 26th April 2014
It wont be the mains anyway as it's the lower end of the spectrum where he has issues, so it will be the pilot circuit and possibly needle height.
A couple of things...did you install the rubber block off's in the corners of the airbox with the K&N? What size pilot jets are you running and did you do a carb sync after changing everything?

and no i did not carb sync
going to read your carb balancing Carl
Re: Essex workshop day - Colchester - Sat 26th April 2014
It's not my carb sync/balancing thread. A carb balance is really important when go making jetting changes. It will be way off. If it is carb farts you have then a carb balance will help. You mat even be a little lean. If you still get the spitting back through the carbs then try pulling the choke out a tad, very very slightly and see if things improve. If it does then you are lean, as the choke adds fuel to the equation.
