Sorry for another thread on this, but I really need some help!
I have got my bike up to spec, air filter clean, carburettor clean and the float set correctly, new reeds (yes they do seal correctly) a top end with 2 rides on it and a repacked silencer with about 15 minutes of riding on it. There are no air leaks and the ignition is good.
Now, the bike is a 2000 Honda cr125. No toil air filter, 38mm Keihin PWK carb (from a 00 cr250 I think), boyesen power reeds, wiseco piston, FMF fatty pipe and powercore2 silencer and a br9es plug. It runs on 95 octance mixed at 25:1 with motul 800.
I have tried following spanky's, eric's and Zenith's jetting guide.
The bike has the air screw 1 3/4 turns out (thats where it idles fastest), 55 pilot jet, needle in the 3rd postion (middle) and a 165 main jet. Its about 35 degrees celcius (95 fahrenheit?) here at the moment.
I have tried 55, 50, 48 and 45 pilot jets. The 55 I still think may be a bit lean, but it seems right acording to spankys guide. ( I think its lean as it seems slow to pick up, a lean sympton according to 'Zenith').
Now when I play with the needle, I cant get it to bog, however it does pick up slower on the top two positions, and the other 3 feel the same.
Now heres my problem, the bike drools excessively out the back. It runs down the silencer, on my side plate, rear fender my swingarm everywhere! The pilot and needle seem to be right, however it still drools everywhere. My local shop said that the main jet was so big that the needle position would be rich regardless its position. Could this be true with a 175-170-165 sized main jets?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you could help me that would be great! if you need more info just ask.
Thanks
