Carburetor set up

[TT John]

Hello,
I have just changed the carburetor on my A7, I have fitted a PWK flat slide, which seems to be fine on start up and running up to about 50-60 mph but then flats out, anyone know what jets should be fitted? this one had a 115 main I feel sure it should be a lot higher, I am going to try a 150 in it today but if anyone has any experience in these carbs or advice as to which the correct jet size should be for this bike, I  would welcome this.

Regards TTJohn

I have used a PWK carb in a Tiger Cub rebuild, it worked very well and was cheap, but the supplier could not send me any alternative jets. Perhaps a Mikuni stockist can help, I think the PWK may be an (extremely?) similar design.

Think they are like the OKO Carb used on Italian 2 Strokes, jets are easy to get. Look at Lambretta Carbs on ebay ( I did say Lambretta ) Don't Boo please.

G'day TT.
Their a copy of the Keihin carb same as the OKO. I have two on my A10 Cafe. I thought they came std with a 130 main. I just got a couple of cheap repair kits https://tinyurl.com/y5rzpwca I'll check the size later.

Hello Muskrat

I did get a set of jets, I think about ten in a pack from the land of the rising sun, I am just having to try the different size jets. they seem to be very good carbs for the money.

Thanks for the advice

Gday John,

When you get it running sweet, please let us know your carb settings.
cheers

G'day John.
The biggest hurdle with these carbs are the needles. They control 1/4 to 3/4 throttle. They come in different thickness, length and taper that work on different throttle settings. https://tinyurl.com/ycsvynwo
If the carb came with a 115 main the needle may be way out as well.
Try lifting the needle a notch at a time.
Cheers

Surely at 55-60mph it will be a main jet issue? I'd suggest a plug chop after a fast run and see what colour they are.
