.003 is paper thin and what u should run. .10 is way to loose. .003 is in inches. .08 is way to loose

 

the .003" and .004" are thousandths of an inch in measurement.

.003" = 0.0762 millimeters

.004" = 0.1016 millimeters

 

Right as im being a retard i just want to make sure that im correct on this one.
So my feeler gauge says 0.03 and 0.04 not .003 .004?
And i will be setting my inlet to 0.03 and my exhaust to 0.04? Correct?

 

.003 - .004 is in inches.
tmas

 

No, .030" is not the same as .003".

.030" is thirty thousandths

.003" is three thousandths

 

Nah it dont say .030 it says this look
(Here is my gauge)

 

Go buy a new set of gauges that have .003"-.004". They aren't very expensive and available at your local auto parts store.

 

I will order them tonight but i have planned on going out tomorrow on the bikes. I already have x3 sets of feeler gauges, metric & imperial.
I just need to know what you lot are saying (.003 & .004) is on my gauges.

Yeah, im going to buy these
Motion Pro Tappet Feeler Gauge - .002" - .003" (.05mm - .08mm)

 

I know .003 = .08mm, just need to know what the .004 is in metric?

 

See post #3 above...

 

Is it this?
.003 = .08mm
.004 = .10mm

 

Those gauges Tbolt has are the ones that I use for my 2013 155Z. Tbolts Tech Data also has the specs listed. I believe intake. 003. Exhaust. 005 if Im remembering correctly. In very cold weather Im running 20pilot 185main screw 1.5-1.75 turns out on my Vm26. Running like a champ.

 

Yeah i think i'm going to try .003/.004 first. I dont know if it makes a huge difference but i'm in the UK?
Also i put a #25 pilot on today and it didn't like it at all, i'm running a 170 main.

 

Drop your pilot, bump up the main and mess with your air screw and needle adjustments.

 

the main things that affect jetting are elevation, air temperature and humidity.

 

I honestly have no idea about all that, I live in the UK and I've gone with what I've been told. Clip on the needle is 2nd from the bottom, 170 main and 27.5 pilot seems to absolutely drain my bike of fuel. I might try drop the back to the 25 tomorrow and play around with the air and fuel after I set my valves.

Update:
Just ordered some double ended feeler gauges at. 003 and. .004

Does anyone know for the meantime what that will be for my current gauges I have now in metric? Mine go up to 0.03 to 1mm,just need to know roughly what one I need to use until mine comes in the post?

Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it.

I will repeat dirtbiker188... Post number 3 has your answer...

R.R.N.S. - Rail Ruts Not S!u+s

 

0.08M for the intake, and 0.10M for the exhaust

 

So yeah it will be 0.10 (Exhaust) & 0.07 (Inlet) correct?

.08 like Dirtbkr188 posted.

Are you setting it when the engine is cold?

I am yes?
Shad i not do that?

 

Current feeler gauge
Blade thickness: 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00mm.

 

Fanboy, when specifying a size anywhere, ALWAYS put either the inches notation (") or the metric notation (mm) after the number. I see so many kids on here not have a clue about this basic detail and it will lead to two pages of confusion for you as this has. First thing, find out what set of feeler blades you have, metric or imperial.

 

YEah i've worked that one out haha :big smile:

i think she's all good, still a tiny bit of clicking but i think that's normal?
