carb. jetting/adjusting.
carb. jetting/adjusting.What words of wisdom can I get about re-jetting the carb. on my 67 305 dream? I will be fitting EMGO/DUNSTAL reverse megs with new header pipes and don't want them turning blue !! Any help with the specifics will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Jan
Re: carb. jetting/adjusting.Try stock and go from there.
Many times the pipes BLUE do to unburned GAS ./....lm

This is for Amal carbs but the principle is the same. I'm sure that there are docs out there for Keihin, too... http://amalcarb.co.uk/downloadfiles/ama ... _guide.pdf G '60 C77 '60 C72 '62 C72 Dream '63 CL72

If you PM me your email address I have just scanned my Keihin CR race carb tuning guide. Still not 100% what you need but a good read. The Japanese can even spell carburettor properly.... :-) There are lots of "old wives takes" about pipe blueing and how to prevent / fix it but having the correct mixture strength is the greatest help.

Re: carb. jetting/adjusting.Hi Jan,
If at all possible use old header pipe's till you get it tuned. Then make sure the total timing is correct by using a strobe timing light. Get your jetting dialed in then install your new header pipes. For my peace of mind I also coat the I.D of header with a high heat thermal barrier. Tim
