    tri-z jetting

    okay so im just ordering parts for my trike and i want to know what sizes jets to buy, i know that it all depends on your setup, elevation, temperature, blah blah. just wondering a Ballpark so i can order a few bigger and a few smaller so i can fine tune.
    i have a dg pipe and silencer, bored to 70mm, stock reeds, and a clamp on uni filter. its an 86 carb aswell.

    They're not that expensive. 470 is standard. Maybe get the 480, 490, 500 if you're not sure. I don't think going down will be the direction you'll go but you'll have to chop it to know for sure. It would probably not be a good idea to start less than the standard 470 with those mods. Start rich with the clip in the middle slot as a rule of thumb.

    First, open the carb and see what you got. The 470 is standard for the 85, but I think the 86 is quite a bit lower, i think 320. Also, Raffa, I have been looking for a pwk, I found this new one on ebay. I just dont have enough experiance to know if anything other than jets would need to be changed such as the slide or needle or needle jet. Can you give any advise on starting points with the pwk on the triz? Thanks
