155z cam

Can i get a s35 cam for a stock 155z, or do i need a v2 head?

 

[sm00th]

You need a v2 head

 

[Carlts]

lol

Have a chat to a bike shop mate, I'm sure there is alternates cams for the stock head.

too lean??

While riding my bike today i realized that at about 3/4 - full throttle i heard the engine cut start cutting out like the choke was closed, this is my first ride after cleaning my carby and cleaning out the jets, i got a 155z with a 26mm mikuni running 20-100 jets, am i running too lean??

 

[nicko451]

never used a mikuni but 20 seems a bit off... all my other carbs have been around 35-40 roughly.. but that may just be that carb! is it cutting out or flooding??

 

[Rodney68]

I use a 22.5 pilot and a 100 main on my braaap and thats a YX150 with the same size mikuni. So i would say go to 22.5 or 25 pilot and 102 main and play around with the needle settings mate.

 

[Chickenwingz]

If i buy a OKO 26mm what jets would suit the 155z?

too lean??

36 and a 100 mate

Re: too lean??

^^^like my mate said

 

[Chickenwingz]

will a OKO provide more top end power than a pe28?

 

[zwebx]

will a OKO provide more top end power than a pe28?

yes it will, but it will be harder to tune (i think)

 

[nicko451]

Its debatable. in theory it should. but a pe is a better carb. there is a thread on it with heaps of info

 

[Chickenwingz]

So for racing a OKO would be better?

 

[Chickenwingz]

This is my question thread...

 

[GooseMan]

lol, you have a lot of questions, fire away mate

 

[Chickenwingz]

How do you get your bike to idle better when it's cold?, also what is a decent ignition coil?

 

[rotn50]

haha, you do have a heap of questions mate(which are all welcome), good idea i reckon, is easier for you to keep track of all things chickenwings. A lot of the questions you ask just shows your willing to learn dude.

The idle screw on your carb is how you adjust your idle on a cold day but once warm turn the idle back down. In is to turn idle up out is to turn it back down. I run a takegawa super coil on my bike with a NGK lead. But the stock ons arn't really that bad just get a NGK iridium spark plug I highly recommend them.

 

[Chickenwingz]

Is the iridium plug worth the $15 difference from the normal NGK if you have a stock coil?

 

[GooseMan]

So what bike are you working on again? Most coils are pretty allright unless your talking racing and as brendo said twiddle with the idle screw on the carby.
