REJETTING THE CARBURETORS

Do not try to solve a poor running engine problem by rejetting the carburetors if all of the following conditions hold true.

1. The engine has held a good tune in the past with the standard jetting.
2. The engine has not been modified.
3. The motorcycle is being operated in the same geographical region under the same general climatic conditions as in the past.
4. The motorcycle was and is being ridden at average highway speeds.

If those conditions all hold true, the chances are that the problem is due to a malfunction in the carburetor or in another component that needs to be adjusted or repaired.

Changing carburetion jet size probably won't solve the problem. Rejetting the carburetors may be necessary if any of the following conditions hold true.
