    ? about a 42 pilot jet

    I have a dead spot on the lower rpms of my 400 its pretty much stock no silencer or aftermarket air filter. Do you guys think a 42 pilot would be to rich for it.
    Thanks

    i assume your running the stock airbox lid on?

    your needle may be a little lean in the colder months too. before buying a new pilot, i would probaly turn the fuel skrew out 3 turns from lightly seated. now, you only want to turn the fuel skrew out or get a larger pilot if you know your lean at idle.

    I run a 42 pilot with everything else stock, it eliminates the cold bloodedness/hesitating that it had with the stock 38 pilot. Try it.....

    i wish i was the expert.

    i have had jetting problems ever since i put in my stage 2 cam. the leaner i run my fuel skrew the better it idles. if i richen it up, it will die at idle or right when i blip the throttle. however, when i lean it out, i get a popping on 100% deceleration. my headers aren't glowing at idle so i know i am not too lean if any on the pilot jet and fuel skrew. i am just coming to the conclusion that the popping is somewhat normal on a built motor with a straight through pipe. i really don't know though. right now i am using a 42 pilot at 2 turns out on the skrew with my airbox lid on. who knows. by the way, i can't find an airleak or exhaust leak anywhere.
