What jets do I need for my Saturno

Post by JoepSeuren » Tue Dec 16, 2008 7:09 pm

Hi,

I would like to know:
What jets do I need for my Mikuni TM40?
Motor: Saturno 558cc with Nordwest head & cams, open exhaust system.
Just to get a right starting point.

Thank's

Nordwest head and single carb?
Did you use a kind of adaptor?
Elmar has done this and is also playing around with a TM40.
Maybe he will answer.

What i have found while searching the german part is..

Main 140
Idle 17,5

This was from Ollis Saturno, but i think this one is somehow 'modified'.
Maybe it could give you a help anyway.

It is a nordwest head with a 2-1 intake adaptor.
I hope to hear from Elmar, but thank's so far!
