Title: What does Jet Kit really do?? Post by: Loven It on October 25, 2005, 11:31:14 AM Might sound like a stupid question, but I have gotten a lot of conflicting information and not sure I understand the correct purpose. What does a jet kit do for the quad?

What kind of quad is it, I am sure if I dont know what to do some one will post for you. Title: Re: What does Jet Kit really do??

Title: Re: What does Jet Kit really do?? Post by: dynodon on October 26, 2005, 09:47:33 PM Yes , they are the same thing essentially.
But as Chillin said previously, you add more fuel, you have to add more air, & or exhaust, or it wont help out. When I jetted my DS, I also went to a K&N air filter, dual exhaust, and ron woods Cdi box. All bases covered----- more air, more exhaust flow, and higher Rpm limiter. Hope this is helping, and not confusing?!?! Title: Re: What does Jet Kit really do?? Post by: jwscroll on October 27, 2005, 05:33:59 AM A rebuild kit and a jet kit are two different things. The rebuild kit requires the carb to be almost completely disassembled and cleaned and the kit usualy comes with new gaskets and float valve but not new jets.
If the bike sat around forever or has seen alot of racing fuel you might consider rebuilding, if not just do a jet kit and change your airflow and you should be somewhat impressed by the power gains.

For instace, the "thinner"air at higher altitudes. It simply increases the carbs adjustability.
Title: Re: What does Jet Kit really do?? Post by: wilburz on October 27, 2005, 10:20:55 PM i rejeted my my bike and saw a modest gain in power and speed. only added a k&n airfilter and needle and jet. kept the lid on the air box too. have not had any problems except I wish it would go even faster.

How true is that? Title: Re: What does Jet Kit really do?? Post by: Honda250ex on October 28, 2005, 09:56:32 PM I dont know about, jetting that much. I was wondering how much it was going to be... like $50....$100 for an exhaust and an air flilter.
