Maybe someone else on here will give you a clearer answer. Vez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roli Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 what do you mean the main jet ? , i thought that if i bought a carb from a dt it would go straight on a dt , lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roli Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 how about any of these carbs , would they fit ??? Carb 1 or Carb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vez Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 The second one will fit although i cant say for sure it will run right without changing the jets in side.( a jet is a brass screw type component that has holes of a certain size in it, well basically, and are changed to various sizes for tuning purposes) Is your bike tuned in anyway? i.e like a after market exhaust (a DEP or big-one). or is it totally standard? Some pictures would be nice and maybe help to answer the above. Vez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
