Subject: Re: (dr) pumper carb or airbox next?
This I can not argue with.I would go with the balanced
approach as I did spending equal amounts on suspension
and motor work.The links are a big help in the rough
stuff and make a huge difference in the way the
handles at higher speeds in the woods.I would
recommend a spring change with it a tottal of about
200 bucks.

Jesse,
you wrote,
First, if you cut the top out you will have to jet up the carb a 137.5 main
would be my suggestion. you should cut a half inch behind the mounting
brackets on the stock airbox a 3x4 hole with the filter out for safety then
remove the screen in the rubber boot. Order a jx needle and spring from
Thumper Racing. This will help some It will give you an airflow of about
142cfm through the airbox verses 134cfm in the stock condition. Or you could
challenge your relationship with your wife and get the vortex and get 265
cfm through the airbox.
my only question is will I have to do anything with the air screw or any
special instructions that I might need on the settings on the needle or jets
,never worked on carbs before other than cleaning so any further help would
be apreciated .
thanks, Jason

RE: Insesitivity to Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Prompts Boycott of
Bridgestone/Firestone Products
Gentlemen and Ladies,
When I first opened the e-mail press release entitled
"Bridgestone/Firestone Makes Sizable Land Donation to
State of Tennessee", my heart raced. For before I scrolled down the
page, I first assumed that the producer of fine off-highway motorcycle,
off-road truck, and all-terrain sport utility vehicle tires must surely
be establishing a model off-highway vehicle (OHV) preserve for all others
in the OHV industry to follow. Imagine my dismay when I realized that
this 10,000-acres of God's glorious land would not be offered for use to
a multitude of the very consumers whose patronage made this purchase
possible.....off-highway vehicle recreationists.
Yes, I'll be the first to admit that there are places in our beautiful
country where OHV recreation is not appropriate. Fortunately, the great
majority of those places are already protected as public lands with
Wilderness or National Monument designations. Unfortunately, there are
those, including the Clinton/Gore Administration and the many EXTREME
environmental groups that support it, who would very much like to see
off-highway vehicle recreation, as well as agricultural, mining, and
timber industries, wiped off of the face of the Earth. Tell me folks,
what percent of your gross sales, or better yet, net profits, are
directly related to the off-highway vehicle, agriculture, mining and
timber industries? Can you afford to lose those profits?
Well, until such time that Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. deems off-highway
vehicle recreation a legitimate use on The Bridgestone/Firestone
Centennial Wilderness, you will not receive another dime of my hard
earned money.
Unless you can convince me otherwise, the ED77 and ED78 tires that are
now mounted on my dual purpose motorcycle will immediately be replaced by
tires from a manufacturer who is more sensitive to it's customer base. I
will hang these tires in effigy at every OHV club meeting and event I
attend. I will encourage the membership of each and every OHV club,
enthusiast group and national organization I can to boycott
Bridgestone/Firestone products, and I will ask the manufactures of my
motorcycle, all-terrain-vehicle, sport utility vehicle, and truck to do
the same.
I am deeply disappointed and eagerly await your reply.

Subject: RE: (dr) (no subject)
Not a problem John, when you get the jx needle and spring you just first
remove the carb then remove the two screws from the top black cap very
gently remove it, it has a spring under it so hold it down until the screws
are out then let it up and off the carb. Now reach down into the hole in the
center of the slide with a pair of tweezers and pull up a small plastic step
washer then the stock needle now take the jx needle and put the clip on the
fourth groove down from the top make sure that the little plastic washer
that was below the clip on the stock needle is still in the hole drop the
needle in the hole then the step washer put the new spring on the black cap
and fit it back on the top in place of the stock one make sure the
diaphragm is still in place . now screw the top back in place. The main jet
can be replaced by removing the plug from the bottom of the bowl. Next while
the carb is upside down observe the brass plug just in front of the bowl
with a small hole in it this brass plug must be drilled out carefully
without breaking thru and damaging the fuel screw below it. This is so the
idle circuit mixture can be adjusted.
This all that is to setting up the carb. the main jet sizes can be varied
according to further modifications made
Regards,
Jesse Kientz
