What does jetting your carb do?
When you jet your motorcycle’s carburetor, you’re setting the optimal ratio of air-to-fuel that goes into your engine. The smaller the holes in the jets, the less fuel in the air and, as a result, less explosion and less power to run your engine.
How do carburetor jet sizes work?
The size of the jet is how much fuel it allows to pass. A smaller jet has smaller holes, so it lets less fuel through. The vacuum pull from the engine is the same (a constant), so to make up for it your mixture is going to have more air in it.
What does rich jetting mean?
Rich jetting means that the air fuel mixture is not properly burning. The combustion chamber and exhaust can get unburnt carbon built up in it due to this inefficiency. Also, poor combustion from too much gas can build up on the piston rings or grooves.
How do I know what jets to put in my carb?
The old jets will have a number on the side of them to tell you how large the hole for the gas is. If you’re trying to give your engine more gas, install jets with a larger number which means it has a bigger hole. To make your engine run leaner, install jets with a smaller number and therefore with smaller holes.
What is a lean spark plug?
A common symptom of your car running lean is that your spark plugs are clean or turn white. However, your spark plugs will become either too clean (evidenced by a lack of normal color) or white when your engine is running significantly lean.

Which is easier to adjust needle clip on CRF250X jetting?
The extended fuel screw will make this adjustment easier. It is a fact that the pilot and main jets are easier to get to on the 250X carb than the needle. Nevertheless, you should perfect the technique of adjusting the needle clip position because of its critical importance to optimal jetting. That’s it! You’re done.
Is the slow air jet part of the CARB adjustments?
The slow air jet (pilot air jet), starter jet, and leak jet are also part of your carb’s adjustments, but these jets are changed so rarely that for all practical purposes, you can ignore them.
