most don't mess with changing the pilot jet, but you can try moving the clip around on the needle and readjust the air/fuel mixture to help with fine tuning to see if it makes any difference.
Please help with jetting questions
G
I have an 02 Foreman and i put an HMF Exhaust and the jet that they sent me on. i adjusted the air/fuel screw to where it runs pretty good, but my question is should i have changed both the pilot and main jet? should i have adjusted the e-clip? I've also got a K&N filter on it. i can feel a little more power but the way everyone talks it should have been a little more power than what i've got. any help is appreciated.

Thanks. Now the other question is and you might think that i'm stupid but is the e-clip around the same place i changed the main jet? what i mean is do i get to it by going through the bottom of the carb? sorry for all the questions but i just don't want to take everything apart when i don't have to.most don't mess with changing the pilot jet, but you can try moving the clip around on the needle and readjust the air/fuel mixture to help with fine tuning to see if it makes any difference.
If your able to put a jet in the carb, you shouldn't have any problems with the needle adjustment. the only tools you will need are a few rags,a pair of needle noose pliers for the clip and a phillp screwdriver. Once you do it a few times, you wil figure out that the pliers are not needed.
remove your seat and look at the top of the carb. there are 4 phillip screws that hold the top cover on. remove those and the cover will come off. remove the spring and plastic slide. It would be a good idea to put a rag over the carb just incase something may drop into it. using a phillip screwdriver again, stick it in the center of the slide and make a 1/4 turn and it will unlock the clip. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. once the clip is out the needle will be visible. Be carefull there is a small washer under the needle. Here is a break down of the carb.
