i would ask shearer since he built it.

he was steering me towards buying a mikuni or a lectron, he said he doesn't run a keihin unless he runs a pump.

Are you running a pump then?

I'd take Matt's advice and go with what the motor has been set up for, did you ask Matt about running that pipe with the porting you have?

Yeah pipe will be fine with the porting, and no i prefer not to run a pump i dont think i need it for a dune set up

It seems we were running a 180-182 main jet for the dunes. Proly Want to to start with a 190-192 to be safe

Just food for thought since I learned this only last year.. Keihin makes a 190 and a 195. So if you need a 192, it will 100% be aftermarket. I prefer genuine Keihin but can't say I've found anything detrimental with aftermarket jet manufacturers.

Yeah, I forgot that they only go up in increments of 5 after 190 and up. The theory going at that point little increments don't have enough change in fuel supply.

I just pulled the main jet where we were running the dune puma ... its a 185. I switched to smart carb after that.
