VM26 Carb - What jets?

[shelbyzman]

I have a 200cc 163fml dual sport bike (from 2005) and am wanting to change out the carb. Been looking at VM26 knockoffs on amazon and am wondering what size jets they come with. I have read that you may need to change out the jets to get the best performance. Any suggestions on which ones to put in? My elevation is 482′.

This is what I did with my Hawk 250

you have to scroll though to see the jetting. Runs great but I have not had much luck against flats.

Thanks for the link/info: ( Main jet – 115, Needle clip position – middle slot, Air/Fuel mix – 1.5 turns out)


From what I had read, 110 would be good, but I may go with 115. Did you change the pilot/slow jet or leave the stock vm26 on it? I wonder what the size of the jet it comes with is? Also, was the needle clip in the middle position already or did you have to move it?

I pulled my old carb (Sheng Wey PD1) and am waiting for the VM26 to come in. Looks like I can take my choke cable bracket off and use on the new one.

-- jets (idle 25 and main 115),
--adjusting needle(middle slot),
--air fuel mix (1.5 turns out),

you will also need to order the extra jets as well.

its been a while so I don't remember where the clip was when I received the clone from Amazon. Make sure you install the throttle slider correctly (not sure what to call it) as I got it wrong when i changed out my carb on my 185s. it can go in two different ways but slides all the way down when inserting the correct way.
