copemech Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) The Kiehin is a fairly sensitive carb, thus there is no "perfect " setting as it will vary on the day based upon temps, baro and such. Normal range between 1/2 and 1.5 turns out. Set for best idle and response off idle. Colder days require less air(screw "in")due to higher air density for a given jet size. About 1/8 turn on the screw can make a difference. A good ear helps! Edited November 23, 2015 by copemech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 The 2016 probably needs to be re jetted from the factory settings for uk unleaded, id try 128 main 44 pilot and 3 slide. From memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwb5151 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi i was just wonder what is you opinion on the new sherco and what is the 300 like ive tried to 250. I am worried about getting 250 as i think it wouldnt be powerful enought as a 300 would be easy to get up very steep mounds. I ride a 2011 290 sherco and i think the power is great many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ady witting Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I was going to get a 250 but I tried a 300 at demo day, and thought it suited me more, they are easy to ride, good on power. if I was you I would go for a 300 but try it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwb5151 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yea thanks im just worried because im so used to my 290 that i might feel it wont be as good Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
