New pilot jet, idles fine but dies with throttle
01/02/26 at 23:20:00
Took my carb apart today...most of the way. It looks pretty clean in there already which was nice. I've been having hesitation when opening the throttle so I was hoping to fix it today. I have an all balls rebuild kit and decided to install the new pilot jet and then button everything back up.
Now she idles much better than before and started right up kncd the float bowl was filled. I have the raptor peacock BTW. As soon as I Crack the throttle she bogs down and dies. Research is saying I have a clogged pilot jet or possible air leak.
The hole in the new jet was definitely more clear than the original. I'm soaking the original in carb cleaner. Is the increased fuel flow of the new jet the culprit? What have I missed?

What is the number on the pilot jet you installed ?
And what is the number on the pilot jet you removed ?
Did you change anything else ?

I'll check the numbers when I take it apart. it's the only thing I changed unless I forgot a step during reassembly

sigh, I had the petcocks confused. my other bike has RES at the 9 o'clock position which is OFF on this bike. know she revs just fine. definitely a facepalm moment....I hope this brings a chuckle to all who read this.
btw my other bike is a 1965 Honda cb77 super hawk. what a different ride...
