Pilot jet or slow jet, it affects your bottom end, your low end acceleration and your idle.

Hey, thanks...i'd need to know what type of carb, i could try to find out for you.
-
I talked to the guy at my local scooter shop which isn't that great of a shop and he said he could not figure out what it stands for and that some brands numbers represent different things than other. Anyhow if you find out what the numbers represent for what we deal with I would love to know also.

I live in Wilmington and I have spoken with the owner of Scooter Nerds several times on the phone. He doesn't seem to know a whole lot! He did refer me to another guy who worked as his mechanic for awhile. Turned out i had already met him before. Anyway, he is great! That's about the only useful info I have gotten out of that place!

This may help you out slinger. When you are tuning the idle (slow) jet, the rmp's should drop,and the engine should give that pop-pop-poping sound as the engine is braking. If your jet is too lean the rpm's will stay high with the throttle closed, and you will feel NO braking effect. If the jet is too rich it will sound as if you hit the kill switch, and will stutter when you reapply the throttle. I found a neat trick for opening the jets from a top outboard mechanic. Welders torch tip cleaners. They are accuatly wire files in very exact diameters. You start w/ the one that fits your jet, give it a few swipes to allow the next size up to fit. A good set of these is about $30.00 and w/ them you have every size jet you will ever need. Last week I was opening mine and went too far w/ the idle so I found a sewing needle that was smaller than the jet size, put it in the jet and melted solder into the jet. I pulled out the needle, and started again w/ the files until I got the size I needed. I own 3 scoots right now, and I am ALWAYS fooling with someone else's, so buying boxes of jets for all sorts of bikes don't make sense for me.
-
..yeah zombie, I got me a set of those also...I've never tried the soldering before...that's a good idea, as long as the solder doesn't turn loose over time...I'm finding that as the weather is getting colder, my rpms a WOT seem to be a bit high, while top speed is a bit low..I believe I'm running a little bit toward the lean side...Would you agree?
..then again, my rollers are worn some too, and I guess they're not quite 5.5 grams any more....
..Oh the insanity.....
