Right first of all my problem is that the kid i got my DT off has wound the air inlet screw on my DT all the way in and now its stuck ! so i need to get a new carb cuz this makes it not idol at all it will just die and i have to ride it with the carb on :( no good !
SO i will get a new carb but i need to know a few things which i need you guys to help me with ! First I have a 1997 DTR What carb does this have ? cuz i have no idea what to buy and replace it with
second I am running full DEP exhaust system and polini race reeds , Do i need to up jett and if i do to what sizes ?
Third when i do get a new carb what do i have to do , do you just put it in and start the bike up ? or is there a special way of running it in ?
get a dremel with a small drill bit in it, drill down the centre of the brass screw untill ur about 3-4 mm deep,then get a small flat screw driver or a torque bit driver (one u use for phones) and tap it in to the hole in the screw then keep it presses towards the screw and wind it out mine was same when i got it mate then aj sutton for a screw cost about £14
Carb doesnt need runnin in m8 if you aint had a engine rebuild or piston change!
All standard dt carbs will fit and as to jetting just swap from your old carb or try fitting the new one as your soon tell if the jetting is wrong as the engine will splutter or will have a flat spot going thru the revs, and you can put a new plug in and do a plug chup after 20 miles should be a nice tan colour if black to lean need a bigger jet ect
Worth doin your research as getting the jetting right is critical for engine life and performance
And no one can say the exact size you need as all engines carbs and set ups are diffrent trail end error is key
In my experience
But your better of going down norths route

just be care full, once drilled and you have a driver wedged in, warm up the area with a blow tortch, make sure its empty of petrol tho may want to dunk it in a water bath 1st b4 putting a flame on it, alloy will expand then and make the screw come out easier
