Hi
I have an XBR 500, purchsed with a fruity exhaust (de-baffled aftermarket sports, pretty much empty!) and a K&N filter.
It still has the standard 152 main jet and, needless to say, runs a little lean over 4k.
Obviously when it comes onto the needle jet it isn't getting enough juice. I've stripped and cleaned the carb and have been told that as a rule of thumb a 10% increase in jet size would help: ie a 167.
I'm tempted to raise the needle by adding a washer too.
Does this course of attack seem feasible? Any suggestion on the range of jets or sensible step sizes that I should buy to swap until I have it running nicely?
Ta!
PS to all who remember my original posts a few months back; I truly am loving singledom once again!
