Frequently Asked Questions
The '85' indicates the jet size/orifice diameter. Larger numbers = richer fuel mixture. Jet sizing is critical for proper carburetor tuning.
Signs of incorrect jetting include: poor idle, hesitation on acceleration, black spark plugs (too rich), white spark plugs (too lean), or poor fuel economy. Consult your carburetor manual or a tuning guide.
No. Jets are carburetor-specific. Verify your exact carburetor model (VM, TMX, etc.) before purchasing. Using wrong jets can damage the carburetor or cause poor performance.
Hex jets use a hex wrench for installation (easier, less likely to strip). Slotted jets use a flathead screwdriver. Functionally identical, but hex design is more user-friendly.
Individual jets can be purchased, but many tuners buy jet kits with multiple sizes for testing and tuning purposes.
