- Just picked up a new PWK 38 A/S - FAKE?
  By tahoemike00
  
  Just opened it up in preparation to get started with jets and needle set up. I am somewhat bewildered by the fact that there are no markings whatsoever on the jets, needle or slide.
  
  I have some misc. Keihin jets kicking around, and they all have the size and some with the Keihin logo stamped on them. Is it that the newer models/parts are no longer marked? Or should I be concerned about the authenticity of the carb manufacturing. (i.e. clone) Everything about it looks authentic, including the box and part numbers.
  
  BTW, intending on putting this on a basically stock 2004 CR250. With FMF Fatty, FMF Shorty muffler, V-force reed cage and a +10 oz. Steahly fw weight.
  Running 50/50 91 pump and Sunoco GT260+ at 40:1 Bel-Ray H1-R.
  I haven't checked squish yet.
  
  Got tired of fighting with the stock Mikuni. Could never get it right. Close, but not the way that I think it should be.

- How to Confirm Your Pilot Circuit Setting
  By Wayward Son
  
  It seems like the most common jetting issue that comes up are pilot circuit related. The following is a sure method to choose the needed changes.
  With the bike warm and idling, turn the fuel screw in till the idle drops/misses. Then go back out till the idle peaks/smooths. This should happen between 1 and 2.5 turns on a FCR carb and 1 and 3 turns on a CV.
  If you end up at less than 1 turn, you need a smaller pilot jet. More than 2.5 (or 3 turns on a CV), you need a larger pilot jet.
  Choose the appropriate size and retest.
