FAQs

How many jets come in the kit?

This kit includes five precision idle jets.

Will these work on a 28mm PWK carburetor?

These are specifically designed for 30/40mm Keihin/PWK units. Please check your carburetor specification before purchase.

Do I need to change other jets when changing the idle jet?

Generally, the idle jet affects low-end performance. You may need to adjust your needle or main jet if you are experiencing performance issues at mid or high throttle openings.

What is the material of these jets?

The jets are crafted from precision-machined brass for durability and chemical resistance.

How do I know which jet size to pick?

Tuning is typically done by observing engine behavior and spark plug color. If the engine is sluggish and 'bogs,' it may be too rich; if it pops or hesitates, it may be too lean.

Troubleshooting

Engine runs worse after changing jet

The new jet is likely too rich or too lean; perform a spark plug color check to verify the air/fuel mixture and try the next size in the range.

Difficulty threading the jet into the carburetor

Do not force the jet; remove it and ensure it is perfectly aligned with the threads. Ensure the threads are free of debris or old fuel deposits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-precision manufacturing ensures consistent performance
  • Tailored specifically for common Keihin/PWK 30/40 units
  • Improves throttle responsiveness and idle stability
  • Provides essential tools for custom engine tuning

Cons

  • Requires advanced mechanical knowledge to install and tune correctly
  • Trial and error is often necessary to find the perfect size for specific engine setups
  • Does not include instructions for specific engine air/fuel ratio targets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires removing the carburetor float bowl to access the idle jet housing. Ensure the engine is cool before beginning work to prevent fuel spray hazards. Always use a precision screwdriver that fits the jet slot perfectly to avoid stripping the soft brass threads.

Compatibility: This kit is strictly designed for Keihin and PWK-style carburetors with 30mm to 40mm bores. Verify your carburetor model stamp before installation. Regarding care, jets should be handled with clean hands to prevent clogging the micro-apertures. If a jet becomes obstructed, use a specialized carburetor cleaning solvent rather than stiff wires, which can deform the precision opening.
