I guess I should start by saying my bike is a 97 350 SE with a Mikuni =
flat slide carb.
I just installed a Supertrapp ISD 2 with the quite core, I have all 12 =
disks on the pipe
and the air box has a 3x4 hole in the top. I got a carb kit from Thumper =
Racing,
it has the JX needle and spring and a 135 main jet, they did not =
recommend a
change to the pilot jet. They said to put the clip in the 3rd grove from =
the top on
the needle.
The questions that I have are, do you need to use the thick white =
plastic washer
from the old needle on the new one? If not then I have the wrong needle =
because
the new needle is longer than the stock one and will not drop down the =
hole far=20
enough for the clip to bottom out on the slide.
In the instructions I got from Thumper(they are rather vague and say =
nothing about the needle at all) it says " after starting the engine and =
warming it up,
adjust the fuel screw in the front bottom of the carb for best idle" I =
know where
this screw should be but on my carb there is a brass plug with a very =
small hole
were the screw should be.
Next I can not get the screws on the float bowl the break loose, any =
tricks for
this one?
And finally can you improve the flow of the air box by removing the =
screen from
the snorkel. ( I know all about the Vortex box I just cant afford it =
right now)
I am in the middle of this and would like to get it done before the =
weather gets
cold again, here in Mich. we don't get to many weekends in the 50s and =
60s
in February.( no heat in the garage) Thanks in advance for the help.

If you want to get access to the fuel screw just drill it out (Be careful
not to go too deep). Visit my page at www.geocities.com/dr350page - where
you can find some info about the DR350 carburetor that might help you.

Hi Jim, first answer yes to reusing the white plastic washer below the clip
which should be in the fourth groove down on the needle.This will richen
your midrange, next remove the backfire screen. You need a good sharp no.1
phillips to remove the screws from the bowl of the carb I have seen times
when it was necessary to use an impact gently to loosen them. Once you get
inside you change the main to 137.5 . Remove the plug from the fuel screw
and set it one and a half turns out from the bottomed out position and
adjust from there when the engine is fully warmed up. Feel free to contact
me with any further questions.
Regards,
Jesse Kientz
