r1 carb rejetting
k33ts - 29/8/08 at 01:22 PM

done some searches but came up with nothing.
got r1 carbs on 1.8 16v vw kr engine.
was wondering how far out the jetting would be it needs running in for a little while so was wondering if its worth getting some bigger jets for the time being until i can get it dynoed.
basicly wondering what jets youve used on 1.8 motors

cheers

My carbs are from a ZX6R and have 1.6 mains on a 1.8 Zetec.

If anything it is a bit rich, but not far out.

Much better to be a bit rich than lean until you can get it to a rolling road so well worth doing. Suggest you start with Stu's proven to be a touch rich 1.6's
