Subject: RE: (dr350) 99' main jet size?

Hi Chris, A 140 is a good place to start,if you have a freer flowing exhaust
it may be a little lean. You may have to drop the clip on the needle one
notch to the fourth groove. If its too rich it will blubber with open
throttle. The needle controls the mid throttle position so if its flat in
that area this indicates that it needs to be richer.  The clip adjustment
will take care of this. The pilot is ok you may have to open the fuel screw
a little like 1/4 to 1/2 turn, Hope this helps.

Happy and safe trails in the year to come.....Jesse

Subject: (dr350) 99' main jet size?


Hi all,  can anyone tell me what the main jet on the 99' dr350x with the
pumper carb?  My local dealer have told me it has a 135 and the one across
town told me it had a 130.  I cut the top out of my airbox and I'm trying to
figure out what jet I need to order.  I thought about a 140.  Any input will
be appreciated.

Thanks Chris,

Subject: (dr350) jet size

I have a 93 DR 350 with no real mods to it.  I have put a couple holes in
the airbox for better flow and at one time had the Megaloy muffler on it.
Actualy had two, broke both of them in nasty spills.  So now I am back to
the stock pipe and was wondering what is the best setting for the carb and
jet sizes?

Subject: (dr350) Need Help With DR350S 98' Fuel Problem

 My 98 DR350S has under 1000 Miles on it and it just started running like
shit. I haven't done any modifications to the engine and these are the
symptoms: Bike runs but won't maintain Idle even when Idle screw is adjusted
and bike is warm. Spark plug is very carbonized indicating mixture too rich
and oil smells of gas. The bike is basically fouling out. to get it to start
again I have to Open the throttle all the way.

 I checked carb and cleaned and made no difference. I cleaned Air cleaner and
spark plug and no difference. I did ride the bike hard the last time I rode
in fact it was the first all day ride in it's life. My next guess is maybe
something happened with the valve adjustment but I don't know? Maybe someone
has had the same problem. Please let me know if you have the answer or guess?

Subject: RE: (dr350) Need Help With DR350S 98' Fuel Problem

Hi Hammy, I had a similar call a short while back with the same symptoms.
Your float valve in the carb is probably bypassing. to check this you remove
the carb, remove the bowl,gently remove the float assembly. Now take the
needle valve seat out of the carb body and inspect the o'ring on it, check
it for a cut or a notch cut out of it. this would allow fuel to bypass
around the needle valve and overfeed the engine with gas. Also check inside
the seat for a piece of rubber o'ring or any debris,blow this area out with
air as well as the carb body where the seat fits into. You can get a new
o'ring from your local bike shop or a bearing supply house. If you find that
it is damaged. To check it you can reassemble the carb making sure that the
needle is properly seated into the seat and moves freely with the float.
Now just hold the carb level and hook up the hose from the fuel petcock to
the carb and move the selector to prime. You should not have any fuel come
out of the carb overflow drain hose. this will save you from assembling the
carb back on the  bike and then taking it back off again if it still leaks.
Good luck and get back to me if you have more questions.

Regards ....Jesse
