Common questions
Will installing these pilot jets require me to adjust my idle screw?
Yes, after changing pilot jets, you will almost certainly need to adjust your carburetor's idle mixture screw and possibly the idle speed screw to achieve a smooth and stable idle. This is part of the tuning process.
Are these pilot jets compatible with all Mikuni carburetors?
These are EBC VM28/486 series pilot jets, which are commonly used in certain Mikuni carburetors. However, Mikuni produces various carburetor models and jet series. You must confirm that your specific Mikuni carburetor uses the VM28/486 style pilot jet before ordering.
What's the difference between a pilot jet and a main jet?
The pilot jet controls the fuel mixture at idle and very low throttle openings. The main jet, in contrast, controls the fuel mixture at wide-open throttle and higher RPMs. Both are crucial for a complete and balanced carburetor tune across the entire operating range.
