1UA carb confusion!

#1 Post by Daren_Calgary » Thu Aug 18, 2022 12:01 am

Hey everyone,

I've got two sets of 1UA carbs. One set came off my '87, another from my '90. The set off of my 87 has a removable power jet, whereas the '90 has a press-fit non-replaceable power jet.
The stamps in each float bowl are different as well.

The '87 float bowl stamp reads as; P1-2. The removable power jet is a 20 and looks identical to the pilot jet.
The '90 float bowl stamp reads as; R1-1

From reading up on the 1UA carbs, the power jet on the press in style is 60 and 65 respectively. Should I just go on the hunt for pilot jets of the same size to screw in? I would use the float bowl from the '90, however, one of them is non-repairable.

Just curious if anyone has insight on this, and why one is removable. Or, is it a matter of incorrect float bowls?

Pictures below.

Can't tell whether Yamaha changed the PJ from pressed to screws. Usually I'd say it's a modification from a previous owner.

Nevertheless #20/25 were the PJs for the 27 hp version. The unrestricted had #60/65.

After searching for a while, it seems that the R models came equipped with a removable power jet 20/25. If I can source some 60/65 pilot jets would these act the same as the unrestricted carbs?

I guess the right jet should be N100606

Can't tell for the R models, but the restricted German models also had a smaller main air jet (0.7 instead of 0.8).
It's the bore size behind the brass ball in the carb intake. To modify it, you need to remove the ball.

The N100606 would not fit. The jets that came out of the carb are the M28/1001 style. Both are size 20. This is in line with the 1XE carb specs on the '86 N2.

If you manage to get them in the right size, everything is fine.

Otherwise try the V17/1002 as you'll get them in #60/65.
