IMPORTANT TUNING CHARACTERISTICS
JET NEEDLE
The Jet Needle is the tapered rod that is positioned in the throttle valve by the ‘E’-Clip. The taper
of the needle increases the clearance between the Jet Needle and the fixed Needle Jet outlet as the
throttle is opened. As the air flow volume increases past the throttle slide, the fuel volume is also
increased to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio.
NEEDLE ‘E’-CLIP POSITION
The position of the ‘E’-Clip in the Jet Needle is used to correct or change the air/fuel ratio between 1/4th
and 3/4th throttle valve position. The ‘E’-Clip can be raised or lowered on the Jet Needle.To richen the fuel mixture the ‘E’-Clip is lowered on the Jet Needle, raising the Jet Needle. To lean the fuel mixture the
‘E’-Clip is raised on the Jet Needle.
JET NEEDLES
To correct the fuel mixture at 1/8th to 1/4th throttle slide position it may be necessary to change the Jet
Needle. The Jet Needle will have a series of numbers stamped on it. Example: 6EJ12-55. The numbers 55 indicate that the outside diameter (O.D.) of the Jet Needle is 2.55mm. A smaller O.D. number gives a richer mixture. A larger O.D. number gives a leaner mixture.
