That clamp was holding the needle.Now remove the needle the number is on the side. Look real close at the pilot jet it is probably a #25. As far as the cable don't let her cut you off get a new pull cable they are not much $. The top has three allen screws, two larger than the third. I removed that cautiously and I see what your talking about. The needle is waayyy down there lol. I suppose I could turn the linkage and raise the slide to get to it. I looked at the pilot closer, it is a #35. I'll call PhatP and see about the pull cable. Why is a push cable not needed? Sorry misquote on the # of screws Don't know what I was thinkin. But you got the idea.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #593112 BTM.

I know it only effects 0-1/4 throttle.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #593130 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:HSR 42 Information 4 Years, 12 Months ago   Uno979 wrote: Any input on the 35 PJ?

Hmmm...I'm running a 25 PJ with my 42. Took me around 15 start attempts to get her cranked over today after a long cold soak. Temps still in the 30's here in Ohio. Would increasing the PJ help me with these cold starts?

I looked again and it does have the #35. Way too rich to take any chances. Thanks!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #593307 JakeUSAF (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5671 Re:HSR 42 Information 4 Years, 12 Months ago   moreland4 wrote: Curt wrote: I am running the 35 in a 42 HSR so that isn't true.

Sorry for the hijack. moreland4, After a long sit, give the throttle about five turns then give it a try to crank, but don't hold it long and then give it 3 or 4 more turns on the throttle and give it a try to crank again. Your manifold will have enough fuel in it to get it to crank and start sucking from the carb then. If you feel it try to crank give the throttle a little turn and you should be good to go. Make sure also that you have your choke pulled out.   Logged     Last Edit: 2013/02/26 07:42 By JakeUSAF.   Ride Hard, Ride Often, Ride a Star!!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #593313 Uno979 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 771 Re:HSR 42 Information 4 Years, 12 Months ago   JakePaes wrote: moreland4 wrote: Curt wrote: I am running the 35 in a 42 HSR so that isn't true.

You need the fuel in there to get it to start sucking the fuel down since there is no fuel pump to force it in there.   Logged     Ride Hard, Ride Often, Ride a Star!!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
