T500 Carb Bucking issue

Post by LexPaul »

Just checking to see if there is any advice on this big bore 2 stroke carb bucking issue at deceleration? I've read up on the issue some and I understand that I should adjust pilot air screw up or down to see if I am running too lean or rich.

Ivan mentioned going up to a #35 pilot jet. I do not see that item # listed in my sources. Has anyone had success with this modification from standard #30. Does anyone have the #35 pilot jet item # so that I can do a search if needed?

Last but not least, does anyone else want to throw out an idea on this? Thank you LP

They are sized in 2.5 step increments, so you can go up to 32.5 first.

Once I fit a 35 will there be other adjustments, of a non traditional specification, that I will need to make with the pilot and throttle screws? Thank you gentlemen.

Mine was running a bit lean, when I turned in the screw a 1/4 the bucking ceased. Thanks for the advice. LM
