Re: Jetting question RZ350
May have located one. While messing about with gauges today I noticed my power valve servo motor is buzzing. Quits if I turn the spindle clockwise a tad. Cables are loose so lot pressure on it.

Re: Jetting question RZ350
All back together and beat running so far.[emoji1] limited runs up and down road but it is rideable. Take her out at the weekend and see how she performs through the range and check plugs.

Re: Jetting question RZ350
Will use a unisynch on the carbs at weekend when I am less likely to piss off the neighbors and see how that runs. Finally getting somewhere. Need to get her done so I can start tearing down the RD350 with my son.

Re: Jetting question RZ350
Well latest report is that it is now rideable at least. Still a little boggy upto 4000 rpm and doesn't like pulling away at low revs. Little flat spot around 5000. Any suggestions?

Drop your needles by raising the clips one notch.

Re: Jetting question RZ350
I did that and am currently at second clip from the top on dynajet needles. Should I go another one?

Re: Jetting question RZ350
I'd say yes. You'll know very quickly if it works. One clip adjustment at a time on the carbs. That's the rule. Your needles are likely still too rich.

Jetting question RZ350
Good idea. This thread has been going on to long!
410 mains
20 pilots
Dynojet needles. 2nd clip down
D&G pipes
K&N pods
Airscrews 1 turn out
Carbs balanced using Unisynch
Runs well at higher rpm over 5k
Pretty smooth constant 3 pot 4 k
Just a bogged throttle response at less than 4k and needs higher revs. (4k) to pull away cleanly
Both t
he cylinders running at same temperature

Re: Jetting question RZ350
try lugging it in a higher gear at low rpm and see if it will rev cleanly. I finally went to 1-1/2 after being at 1.0 turns for the longest time. Whatever works better.
1984 RZ350L (U.S.) Old Toomeys, oil injected!, Y-boot K&N. loctite throttle cable holder on left carb!! , 410 mains, Dynojet needles 2.0 clip, #20 pilot @ 1.5 turn a.s., 240/512 p.v.
Re: Jetting question RZ350
20 pilot seems small.
On VM26ss non power jet carbs, I have always run 25's when I mod air intakes combined with expansion chambers.
I have a secret project at the moment with Kenny pipes and a (y boot) running 25 pilots, 5KI needle middle clip, and 280 mains, Air is 1,1/4 out, Emulsions 345-p2 from memory squish is exactly 1mm. Running at sea level, 30+ degrees every day and currently running in, but runs nice and strong on the bottom end.
I ran this combination my first RZ with great results, and will run the same or there about"s on my current build. Just waiting on a crank.
I always read with great interest how folks are running 300 and 400 plus mains. Standard was in the low 200's accross the models. and 22.5 pilot was a fairly common theem.
Personally if I got your bike and didn't know the history, the first thing I would do is push the emulsion tubes out, check and clean them. Then change to 5Ki needles.
Id work back from there.

Re: Jetting question RZ350
27.5 pj here w/airbox, holes taped over. 280mj but, I'm using banshee emulsion tubes/needle. 330' ele. 65*
Re: Jetting question RZ350
Zorba,
Just read all 9 pages here, keep us updated on your results, as I am very interested in where you end up with your jetting.
MKane,
What did you notice when you went with the Banshee Tubes/Needles? I have read the thread by MBSteve but was not clear on the "Complete" result on this setup.

Re: Jetting question RZ350
Thanks for all the input. So the general consensus is that I have a rich condition, either on the pilot circuit or the intermediate which is affected by main jet and needle.
My plan is to:
1. Open up airscrews and go for a ride. Easiest
2. If no difference, put airscrews back and drop needle a clip.
410 mains always sounded high to me so rather than drop the needles could I just come down a few sizes first.
Dropping from a 25 pilot to the current 20 appears to have cured the wet plug condition I had so and loath to increase pilot jet size further.
Am I on the right track?
