I know this question has been asked a dozen times before, so sorry in advance. I am having trouble finding a link to pilot jets for a stock hawk carb.
Does anyone have the link? Alternatively does anyone have extras (30 or 35 I believe, I am running stock air cleaner and exhaust but plan on swapping to aftermarket exhaust pretty soon here) that they're willing to sell to me? I already up-jetted the main to 110. Any help is appreciated. Additionally if anyone has good links or book recommendations on how to properly tune a carb, I really would like to learn. |

You definitely won't find anything standard that matches up to it, at least I wasn't able to when I looked into it. From what I recall at the time, there was somebody online that was tapping them and replacing the pilot jet with something more standard, but the cost was about the same as just getting a Mikuni. If you have the tools, it seemed easy enough. If you had to go out and purchase them or pay to have it done, it didn't seem worth the bother vs. buying a new Mikuni. |

It'll cost you around $10 for a tap that will allow you to use Keihin slow jets in a Shin Wei. I don't remember the tap size off offhand though. The difference between the Shin Wei and the Keihin is the Shin Wei slow jet is threaded at the tip.
Here are the jets that will work once it has been threaded: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/20-P...812805848.html |

or, instead of $10 for the tap, you could spend $18 for a Keihin.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/282362473575 You'll have to use the choke lever off your Shin Wei. |

Brakes, forks, and etc.
There is a thread about bad rear brake from lprewitt, if I spelled it correctly. He changed the fluid, and bled his brake until the brake fluid came out as clear as disilled water. Now, you and I don't know much about what the Chinese know about brake fluid. No doubt that the Chinese manufacturer of the brake fluid is supplying what he thinks is DOT 3 brake fluid, or the EU version of it. So, perhaps he is shipping the stuff to the asembly plant in 55 gallon (or the metric version of it) drums. The average worker in that plant knows nothing, except what he has been told, about brake fluid. You and I know, because there have been cars and pick-ups in our lives since birth. We know that the stuff is hydroscopic. We know not to use fluid that has been sitting around in an open container. I doubt that they REALLY know. They may have been told, but that's not the same as knowing. So perhaps they are careless about that drum of brake fluid. Air gets in it, carrying moisture and other contaminates. A factory like this is never really clean. I know, because I worked in one for a while. Working on an assembly line is no joke. The place is noisy. The line moves as fast as possible and still the expectation is a perfect product. I can tell you from personal experience that if you drop a bolt on the floor, loading your air wrench, you just get another one out of the container, because it's faster than finding the one you dropped. Now you have to get that bolt in there quick, because you've already lost 15 seconds. So if it gets in there cross threaded, but it's in there, you let it go. So the worker is not worried about the quality of the brake fluid he puts in there, he's just worried about getting it in there on time. So what? YOU care about the quality of the brake fluid, because traffic in this country demands good brakes. So, be smart and flush out whatever they put in there with American DOT 3 fluid, bleed them until there is not a trace of that brown stuff that came with it, and enjoy good brakes. ...ARH

ARH, what are your thoughts on using Teflon tape on the bleeding nipple thread? I found small leaks on two brand new calipers, so I put Teflon on it, it has been running fine for a few months now.

Until someone corrects me, I think Teflon tape is a great idea...ARH
