My 2001 elite 50 build-up

[odinxxix]

i know its not an elite but when i broke in my bbk for the spree i used a mix of 80-90:1 plus the injector, you could go heavier if desired. think i also did a 1/4 tank of 32:1 just to side with caution. you have a #95 jet on the way left here monday morning.

[eliteguy50]

any more input in reguards to jet size with my setup?

Just remember that jetting also depends on how heavy you are pre-mixing so it can change from break in to final running order. (more oil moving through the jet means less fuel moving through and you need a larger jet...)

what size bbk are you looking at? why do you want to keep the stock carb?

i can t wait to get my 9:1's in we just got hit by a blizzard here keep up the good work!

thanks eliteguy, so durring break in when im running a high amount of oil i will probably be running 1 size larger jet than when its broken in and am running less premix? good to know. i figured i will probably try a 105 at first and that should be ridiculously rich no matter the premix, then break it in very rich and then the more miles i get on it, i will jet down sizes till the right one is discovered.
durring break in i will want to have smoke coming out the back all the time correct? even at some speed?

and i want to keep the stock carb for mow because of the money factor...
thanks! i beleive its 48mm for the bore size.

Thats a good way to be safe on the break in. Way to go.

I use 32:1 (4oz oil per gallon of gas) at all times, I was probably in the 20:1 range (about 6 oz) range during break in. Some people will say that is way too much oil, but it works fine for me. This is with no oil injector.

I'd really watch your heat with the stock carb + aftermarket exhaust. Bore + exhaust means there is a lot of air flowing through, and the stock carb needs to supply the needed extra fuel. You might want to richen the needle too, along with the larger main jet. I broke my bore in with a stock carb, but I left my stock exhaust on also.

Just make sure to heat cycle the bore gradually, and hold back the urge to pound on it for as long as you can

[aerorob]

thanks 808.
im stoked for my bbk to get here... shouldnt be long!

So after I break my bore in nice and mellow, what kind of gears should I go for? I'm looking for probably a max of 60 or 65 with a reliable 55 there when I need it. Can I go as low as around 7.5 to 1? Acceleration isn't a huge worry under 10 mph. Thanks!

Yes, I always do that too. It also helps with keeping the RPMs lower during break in.

x1, I am running 8.4:1 and am wondering about that.

Well, luckily I haven't sold my stock exhaust, so that might help with easy break in.

So just use super heavy rollers and just keep revs really low for a couple hundred miles after heat cyccling it at idle for a couple minutes at a time?

Let me know when and if you want to sell the stock exhaust. My latest elite "backfire" has a nice dent in header pipe. Dent probably won't hurt but i don't like it.

[aerorob]

Sure. I might actually break it in with my v8 pipe, so ill let you know when I want to sell.

[aerorob]

Hey everyone, when I'm breaking my bore in should I put my stock clutch grabbers in?
Thanks!

[aerorob]

Bump, any opinions on the clutch grabbers?
