135# main in Stock 750? Big bore?
« on: April 15, 2019, 07:30:49 AM »
Hello I discovered that my 750k sohc 73 had 135# main jets! The bike had orginal airfilter and exhaust. But isn't stock jets 110? As far as I could tell the bike ran good. Now it has a 4-1 exhaust. Can it be that the bike has a big bore that I or PO don't know about? Since it runs with 135#
I'm going to try it with 110# first and then move to 120# to see what happens. Bike ran good and felt powerful with the 135# but I've had alot of struggle getting it running property lately

 You may be able to peek down a spark plug hole with a flashlight and see if the piston has a dome to check for a big bore/higher compression piston. Borescope  would tell for sure whats in there.

Will a compression test tell me anything?

There is no reason for a big bore to require that much more jet.  More likely large jetting required by previous  owners boneheadedness.
If it works good, it looks good...

Hard to say. Im running 140 mains in my 760cc race bike. Thats only 1mm overbore from stock but its much thirstier, more likely from the higher revs than anything.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.

I found 147.5 Mikuni mains in my K6 carbs! Needles 1 notch richer from middle, pilots 40, air screws 0.5 turn out.

836 with slightly lower compression due to 24cc chambers made for other pistons. Ported head and a AF SS-1 cam. Rather open 4-1 and conical pods.

I know it ran well in the 80's on real fuel. Mains adjusted by road tests. Full speed, release throttle just a little, if it then ran better, larger mains.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to test 110 since it's the only size I have atm. But im thinking around 115-120 since I have a 4-1 yoshimura.
I'm thinking maybe he had a leak and pulled more air? And compensated with larger jets
