Ballpark start, VM36 on 250 piston-port engine?
« on: December 30, 2018, 09:00:07 PM »
Hey Guy's,

I was wondering if anyone could give a ballpark starting point for jetting on piston-port 250 running a VM36?

l have it on a Yam DT1 with ported barrel & expansion chamber. The carb that came with the bike has the follwing jetting......

MJ - 330
PJ - 30
N - 6DP1
NJ - Not out yet :-)
S - 2.5

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
