Hello guys....I'm planning to fit some Taiwanese Okoe carbs to my mildly ported T500M. The carbs are 34mm, and are a copy of the Keihin flat/D slide unit.
I shall be using pod filters, but have absolutely no idea what size jets I should be using, or where to start.
Do any of you have experience that you could share?
Thanks in anticipation....

Re: Carb tuning....
I really like the look of these carbs, and they are nicely made. I have fitted them to my T500M using the early short inlet manifolds. I hope I can get them to work....they come with a couple of spare jets, but none of them have any sizes stamped on them, which isn't very helpful...

Stealth Jets
.
That's pretty unusual, do you have a source for alternative OEM jets?. Whoever sells them might be able to tell how to find/read the jet size.
Cheers Geoff

Re: Carb tuning....
Was a bit curious & found a US retailer of Okoe carbs.
http://www.mid-atlantictrials.com/oko.html
They have a page comparing their gunuine Okoe carbs to Chinese copies.
Per that, its the Chinese copies that have unmarked jets.

Sorry for the bit of bad news.

Re: Carb tuning....
Thanks JAB......no worries, they were very cheap. Funny thing is, that I thought the Okoes were a copy of the Keihins, so are mine a copy of a copy?.....
Fortunately, the jets are the same as the Keihins, and are readily available (with sizes on). I've ordered a selection of main and pilot, and we'll see how we go.
I had read Midatlantic's useful guide on setting the up as it goes ![*]
