Yea,you NEED to re-jet,it will get more power outta the pipe,and make it run right. I put a 155 main in mine (148 stock), and already felt a difference. I also put some hoels in my airbox lid, it still runs a lil rich,so i need to play woth it more.
When i had the stock jet in there,it popped when i let off the throttle,and smelled like she was runnin hot.
You'll love the T-4,i have a pic for you. also,since your in Ohio,try maybe a 158main,and play with the Needle and all.

Well just a mian jet is cheaper(only $5), but do what you wish.
ITs not a sticker,iyts painted on,and well,i tried polishing it when it was warm,and it rubbed it off. ohh well,i am gonna make it a shorty soon anyways.

Don't buy the jet kit, go to your local dealer and buy the jets.....save yourself the $$.
Open up the airbox and use a #152 or #155 main jet.

Jet kit = Waste of Money !!!!!!
Like the others said save the money and just buy some main jets and consider bumping up the pilot while you are in there !!

my t-4 did the same with the sticker, when i rebuild mine im just gonna remove the plate and put rivits back in the holes
I never had a problem with the label on my T-4 although I don't think it would stand up to a pressure washer very long :D
Don't waste your money on a jet kit..
just grab a couple main jets, and a pilot, and away you go ;)

go to the shop and buy singles, also you will need to change the pilot. Read the jetting article on this site it will help you.

is it smart to get a new needle at the same time???

IMO--It's not necessary to buy a new needle, the stock one should work fine, it might need reset (raised or lowered) but not replaced.
