You have a picture of the carb on the bike? Did it go in with any modifications?

I think I'm just gonna go with a Lectron or smart carb. I checked with smart carb and they're coming out with a new SC2 billet carb. Price? $699. Cast will be $474. It's a little pricey for the billet one. I'll do a little more research and comparisons on the Lectron and cast smart carb to...

I tried a 170 but it didn?t run good. I?m gonna try a 160 and see what happens.

Ok guys. Here?s what I tested. I ended up using the original needle that was in it already, N8RW 2nd clip. Air screw 1.5 turns. 158 main 38 pilot jets. Very light sputter off idle. Pulls hard to wot. Next, I moved the clip to the first slot. Same jets but with the air screw 2.5 turns. Sputter is...

Found two members on here at sea level running 180 main and 38 pilot. I drained out the fuel and cleaned out the carb. I?ll give it a shot and see what happens.🤞🏽

All stock. No upgrades or mods.

No emission laws here. I just wanted to start from what was recommended in the instructions from JD.

I tried the biggest I have which is a 40. Didn?t do any better.

Well, I got my JD jet kit. Installed per instructions. 38 pj, 170 main, blue needle 3rd slot, air screw 1 1/2 turns out. Reed valves are good. Bike still bogs low end. I?m gonna clean out the carb drain the fuel and try again.🤬

Thanks for link 🤙🏾

Thanks, I will. My JD jet kit should be here Saturday. I?ll check the reeds at the same time.

Yeah I?ve been searching on eBay. I found one for $50 with free shipping to Hawaii.

That?s what I said. I?m just waiting on my kit to arrive. That?s one disadvantage of living in Hawaii.

Thanks for the response guys. I?m located in Hawaii. I just picked up the bike on Sunday. There?s a low to mid range gurgling, no hesitation. The best explanation I can give is if a car was running on 7 cylinders instead of 8. There?s no problem at WOT though. I opened up the carb and found 35...

New to this forum. I can?t seem to find replacement reed valves. I have a 2011 EC300.
