Great video now I know exactly what I need to do to install a 44 mm carburetor

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Glad I could help

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

Do you have a video on tools a DIYer could get to do porting? Or maybe just a list of recommended tools. Like a particular Dremel and bits to get. Links to buy the tools would be really helpful.

[@joelatkinson2080]

Another great video!!!

At what point in the adjustment of the high and low needles should you go up or down a jet size? Basically, what is the optimal adjustment range of the needles?

[@shmuck66]

2 turns out, new jet. Ideally you want the needles 1 turn out, giving you easily half turn in or out for adjustment. Main jets are now super cheap from ebay/amazon in kits, so its no longer a pain or expense to keep a handful for testing/tuning. Normally I jump by 5's for jets till im close, then if I really need more tuning I go from there. Low can be toyed with using pop-off too but usually a jet change is needed. Your low screw is an idle adjustment, but yes you can use the low to tune a little, but really past idle you need to tune either with pop off or low speed jet.

thanks for the vid! just grabbed an older 88' 650 with tiny stock carb i believe is 28mm is too small to bore? he gave me an aftermarket manifold with a bn44 I just haven't heard good things about the round body. I have an extra 550 mani with 38mm keihen, will that fit the 650 motor or i should prob just grab an sbn44?

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Sbn44 is the best bang for buck in my opinion

[@Xprototype12x]

Why does my mikuni 44 (brand new) only run on reserve on my 650. When it’s on ON it doesn’t pick up any fuel at all only on reserve

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

That would be something with the fuel lines or pickup in the tank

[@straighttimestirrups]

Does it matter if you start with a 28mm Carb Manifold or do you need the later larger 650SX Manifold?

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

I have to be honest I'm not sure. I'd have to measure.

[@koriseitz2629]

If I send my 650 manifold how much for you to do this?

[@JetSkiJarrod]

How much for the exchange service, my x2 needs some love

[@corbincurtis8120]

is there an after market intake manifold that will fit on a 650 and a SBN 44 without any boring?

[@marqxxgaming1817]

PJS manifold

[@devinniemczyk940]

Does a 44mm carb harm the engine?

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Harm the engine???? No carb with harm an engine UNLESS it's not tuned correctly. The sbn44 is really the perfect size for the 650 engine

[@devinniemczyk940]

@@EricksonMachinePerformance Okay thank you. Just didn’t know if it would provide more fuel than what the 650 can handle

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

@@devinniemczyk940 that all has to do with jetting and carb adjustments.

[@straighttimestirrups]

What jetting specs and adjustments would you recommend as a starting point on a stock engine and a modified engine?
