EC125 - base line jetting

[doutsh]

Hi,
I have a 2013 EC125, and it's carb is all over the place.
I couldn't find here any information regarding this model.
Can someone recommend a base-line jetting so i'll have a starting point?
I'm riding at about sea level, at temperature of around 20-30 degrees Celsius.
Thanks!

So reading those settings, is it a rule of thumb that the smaller the engine the fatter the jetting?

Only reason I ask is that I went leaner when I converted the 300 to a 250..

Yes that's right, small engines require a rich jetting! But only when using the same carb size.

A smaller engine does not run fatter, it just needs a bigger jet to obtain the same mixture compared to a bigger engine. I guess this is due to the lower cylinder volume creates a lower gas velocity thru the carb.

That's right!
Ans I don't meant that the engine must run fatter, I just mean the jetting compared to bigger engines. Less air flow in the carb requires bigger jets to gat the same amount of fuel through.

If you get tired of jetting the 38mm you can always drop in a kx125 35mm PWK carb and be finished. In my opinion a 38mm is too large for a 125 woods bike. This posting provides more details.

I never had any issues with my PWK38! And since I have build it up to a 144cc I doesn't even think about my carb. I my opinion it works great, but I am more riding on motocross track or fast enduros. In Germany riding in the wood is not legal.
