SuzukiSavage.com - Dynojet washer yes or no.

w6k Ex Member	Dynojet washer yes or no. 01/10/07 at 16:34:39 Is there supposed to be a washer under the main jet?. None was supplied with the dynojet kit but the carborater diagram shows a washer. Is it even important one way or the other?

I could go look, but it's cold in the garage,, Why is it just about the time I start thinking the things I am planning on doing will be Ohh soo simple, someone posts something that gets me to wondering?

There was no washer provided in my DJ kit. Don't confuse this washer talk with the one under the carb needle. Now, there was no washer under my 2002 carb main jet and I doubt there is one under any earlier model jets. Check the carb exploded view in Clymer.

Hmm. Some have a washer and some don't. Assuming the needle would still work either way without falling to the side, this throws another variable into the mix when doing a carb rejet. If the needle still works, then the carb would tend to run richer with no washer under the main jet because the needle would sit higher in the jet allowing more fuel to pass.

Does anyone know for sure if the needle will stay in place if the washer were removed from under a Mikuni jet? Would it lift all the way out at full throttle and want to swing out and wedge itself full open?

Wow.
