robpresley Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks for the link, but the problem I guess im having is that I'm trying to find it locally and all those parts catalogs only have the part number and not the actual number stamped on the side (what my local shops go by) also not that I couldn't buy both but why do they always have more than one option? Why not just show the one that's stock with the bike? Anyone know a place where they're still in stock? Also your Jeremy clarkson picture cracks me up every time I see it!

flyday58 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 My local Yamaha shop has to order parts like this, guess from Japan because it takes a while to get them. So I just use the online parts houses like the one in the link. I put in the link so you could point out what you're referring to as 'emulsion tube' so we can advise you a little better. There are multiple sizes to jets and pilots to help with tuning, and the same motor today needs a little tinkering with the jetting to run correctly on our ethanol-based gas. They gotta run rich or you risk 'holing' a piston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyday58 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 emulsion tube AKA 'Needle Jet' Richard Yup. Just wanted to make sure he was talking about the same part instead of spending money on the wrong thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
