I used a TMX several years ago. I use the following jets.

15 or 20 pilot, 5EJ12-55 needle middle notch, 390-410 main

Lower jets for summer, larger for winter riding.

Hope this helps.

That carb was used on both ported w/cool head 270cc and 330 bolt on kits. The stock cylinder 270 had a Turner pipe, cool head for race fuel, and ported by me. The 330 kit used a slightly different needle and like a 420 main.
