New KDX 220 owners take note.

Hey Fred,
Are you using the CEL needle with your stock carb? or the bored carb. I have played around with the CEL on the stock carb, and I found that it loaded up too much with stock jets and one size up on both as well. The only thing that I can understand is that in the 40 degree weather I have right now, my plug is still reading too lean under WOT tests no matter what main I have in there. 150 to stock is still too white? Even with the CEL needle. I have checked for an air leak using carb cleaner with the bike running and I have no leaks. What the heck am I missing? The one thing I can tell you is that once it gets cleared up....DAMN look out for that acceleration. It comes alive, but I depend on too much bottom to accept this bog at the low end. I am beginning to get frustrated with jetting. :ugg:

I now have an RB mod carb, but the CEL works on the stocker -I use a CEK or CEJ right now.
I would think you are too rich on the pilot . Are you more than 1.5 turns out on your a/s? The CEL is much richer off idle to 1/4 throttle than the R1173 stock needle. Try 40 PILOT.

Great Fred T, I'll try that combination. For some reason I thought that when you re-jetted that you would have to go up a size in both jets. So that is why I bogged off idle with the CEL. I was using a 45 pilot and that must have been my problem. I'll get a 40 and leave the stocker main in there. I was just trying to be careful not to go lean because of the temps here, they have dropped to the 30-40's. My bike ran great during the summer, but it started to get a flat spot in the low end with the temps being all cold. What combination have you ran with these temps if it gets this cold where you are at. I've got all the usual mods, pipe is the KG-35.
