All carbs are "jetted". Adjusting jets is re-jetting, I guess. But factory jets are rarely optimum.
You still need to adjust the jets. What did you pay for this JFG (genuine Keihin) carb? Can you share the source so folks here can buy one? The JFG RACING Cable Choke PZ30 you posted pics of is a $25 clone, NOT a Keihin carb. Yup, I see that carb clone on Amazon, and there is not a cast Keihin logo on it. ??? |

![]() Maybe Japanese company Keihin licensed it. Sorry you had to drill out the main. lots of replacement jets available and not expensive. What will you do with the OEM carb? Last edited by Thumper; 02-19-2022 at 08:54 PM. |

My current PZ30B says Made in Japan, and it was bought directly from China.
My Mikuni VM26 said "Mikuni Japan" also from China. Fact: They can make it say anything they want to, doesn't mean it's true. Second Fact: A real PZ27 framed carburetor has a gusset between the slide tower and rear flange. The "PZ30" sold on the internet is a copy of the 27 with an enlarged throat, but it is missing said gusset. Picture: https://www.jetsrus.com/photos/photo_JRU-0315.jpg Final Fact: Keihin never made a 30mm PZ carburetor. The largest official Keihin PZ production carb was the PZ27. The PZ30 is a modified clone made under license by a couple of chinese companies for their clone bikes, and a few others without a license because they can. Real Keihin PZ carbs use 99101-116 main jets and N424-74C slow jets. Clones don't use either of those. Often using the 393 main jet instead of the 116, and the 21 variant of the slow jet

I dunno about that where did u read that the internet? It looks legit main looked up the cerial also to clarify the seller most likely doesnt know what they have happens A Lot on amazon stores most likely matching the other prices for similar items (clones) the ad didnt even mention it was keihin and didnt even include a pic of the cast stamp most likely to avoid repercussions of selling things unliscenced so why would thy go thru all that work then not advertise it? I think its more likely they started making them for the clone craze but thats not here or there tho cuz ....still noone answering question about playing with the air screw....? Ive rebuikt a few carbs but never had to mess with the air screw from factory settings? When should u play with the air mixture? Moreover could i lean it out by backing the air screw out more?

But, if you really need to know this stuff, use the internet and read something. Here is a great example... Keihin doesn't produce PZ carburetors anymore, and haven't for years. That's why I know the one you found isn't real. Let alone the previous fact I mentioned, that the PZ27 was the largest version they produced when they did make it. Unfortunately, the carb you have listed isn't a real one. If you believe me or not is up to you as I have nothing invested in this personally. I only wish to stop misinformation and present the facts as they are. This doesn't mean the carb you have is a bad one. Hell, I run a PZ30B on my Hawk and it runs great. ![]() As far as adjusting the "air screw", that would be impossible. The idle mixture screw on the PZ carburetors is a fuel screw - aka it controls the fuel fed from the bypass of the pilot jet circuit to the small port behind the throttle slide. Air screws are located before the slide and directly block airflow through the idle air bypass port at the carb entrance. When should you adjust it? When you encounter idle issue or hard start issues in certain scenarios. Hard starts while hot due to being too rich, or hard starts when cold from being too lean. Needing the choke to start during warm weather, or not needing the choke at all in cold weather. A hanging high idle after letting off the throttle, or a boggy unsteady low idle. etc. etc. Again, there is plenty of information out there on the internet that you can read.

![]() Mega, your comments on the consequences of too lean, or too rich on the pilot circuit are very useful, and make sense. I changed from a 34 to a 38, and was able to close the pilot screw to ~2.5 turns (it was out at 4+ turns). It has a nice stable idle, but I will pay more attention to cold start and hot start now. It does drop to a nice idle throttle off, and never needs choke when warm. Those bracket the too lean, too rich conditions. But it never starts for me with the kick start. Fortunately, it pops to life quick with the starter every time. I will try half choke (mine is manual, two position choke) when hot and kick start it. If it is easier to start on half choke by kick starter when hot, I will move to a bigger jet. But it starts easily when cold if I have if fully choked, and seems to get better at half choke or even no choke quickly (but with low idle initially-sometimes I lift the slide with the idle adjust until warm). It seems pretty close at least. It is opened up on the exhaust side only, so the carb is experiencing lots of vacuum. I was wondering if that may be an issue? I do not know if there is an optimal vacuum range for the PZ ![]() |

Sigh..........
Im talking about what this diagram refers to as the moxong chamber screw.....still a lil confused here forgive me i have brain damage for real..plz dumb it down a little for us simpletons. Last time ill try to relay this promise... after putting on aftermarket carb with 104 main tapped put to 110 with a 42 pilot. Funny how only one person told me to check my plugs when thats the correct way to sus this out (after doing some research) and ill do that lateer but i dont think ive ran the new carb long enough with the suspected too rich settings so how long will it take to show up balck and sooty if its too rich? Also having problems with cold starts (the bike being not warmed up but still in warm weather) but idle after warmed is strong and around right rpms with no bog or throttle hang or w.e. its called. Like i said before 8 know how to play with idle but jever had to adjust the "chamber mixture screw" from stock settings. Should i mess with that or should i try to lean out the carb with smaller pilot or main that is if it does end up being too rich? This is my only mode of transportation rn as my trucks transmission just went out and dont have the mula to fix tht situation and carrying around a can of started fluid doesnt sound fun |

Magician
Gently tighten the pilot adjust screw all the way ("mixing chamber"), then open it 2 and a half turns. Then follow instructions in post #25, above. 2 and a half is within a half turn of ideal place to be if the pilot jet is correct. This is where you want to be when ypou are eventually jet properly. Whenever you ask for advice, list details, symptoms. Any more is just a distraction These details are important: any exhaust mods or replacement, any airbox/intake mods or delete. For pilot circuit, Mega's instruction in post 25. |

Thanks thumper! That makes sense now. Found a website that is the best ive found on everything u need to know about carb tuning if it helps anybody else:
https://janetpanic.com/how-do-you-ad...torcycle-carb/ I know now on my carb has fuel "mixture" screw not an airscrew even tho those terms are used interchangeably a lot even tho its wrong creating confusion. Think of it as idle sets idle speed and mixture is amount of fuel (i think) so even tho my idle speed is correct the mixture is off which is why its having a hard time starting and most likely too rich which is why choke has no effect on rpms (making it richer does nothing when already too rich.) Most likely have toadjust the mixture because i did an airbox delete so its pulling way more air than it had on stock setting.(just a theory) either way after a few more rides i will check the plug color to determine too rich or too lean or perfect. Sorry it took a while for my damaged brain to understand :] P.s. : I just read a comment review on the carb i bought and i He speaks on this carb having an extra 10mm float height than the pz30 manual says it should be leaning it out..... ""I got this for my 07 Rocketa DB-07 which is a lot like a Hawk 250 except it is a 200cc motor, it came with a Walbro PZ30 and is identical to this one. Do not run this without checking it first. Mine came with unmarked jets so I had no clue what was installed. The float was way off as well it should be 14mm on float height according to the factory Keihin PZ30 manual, mine was at 24mm which is super lean. This is measured with the carb upside down, float tab resting on the fuel shut off needle and measuring from the carb body where the float bowl seal sits to the top of the float. It should look level from the "top" of the float when it is correct. The standard Jets on a Keihin are 96 Main and 38 Pilot. The fuel/ air mix screw was only 1 turn out as well, you should start at 2 turns out for a good start. I know most of us that have knowledge of carbs already know you need to check these things out before installing on your bike and jetting will almost always be needed as we all live or ride in different elevations or climate. Other than the "issues" mentioned it seems to be a very well made carb and the finished product is very nice and the machining and casting was well done. Also don't forget to check your needle valve you should also start out with it on the 3rd step down from the top which put's it in the middle for a good starting point. This jet kit here on Amazon works with this carb. I got it for my original PZ30 and the jets are an exact match, as they are for this one."" Does anybody know how important this aspect of a carb or any exp. With tht issue u could speak on? Considering im getting good fuel flow should i even give this a second thought? |
