PD46 Idle Jet

(1/3) > >>

PennoK3:
Simple question, should the hole in the idle jet be clear its full length?  Trying to work out if its blocked or correct.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The jets in my 400 & 500 were clear right through.
There is an optical illusion imho that makes some folk think there is a fine mesh inside.

I used a long wire taken out of a wire brush to make sure it's unobstructed - I then pop it in the Ultrasound bath again for an extra clean.

Johnny4428:
Definitely should see light all the way through, also important for the side holes to be clear. High E guitar string works too to clear these jets, very small passage through at the thin end.

PennoK3:
Thanks guys.   Yes, blocked solid.   Had a quick look on the internet for new ones (Size 42) but they all seem to be in Germany.   Any UK sources that anyone could recommend?

Bryanj:
They are press in jets not available from Honda, only place i ever found them was Sirius Consolodated in Canada but their website is a nightmare
