Dellorto 38 CD1 jet - FE600 -94

No, it is a fuel screw, or to be more precise, a pilot screw because you are controlling a pre-set fuel/air mixture. you can't shange or alter the ratio but you can change the amount of the mix the engine gets.

overall, the air/fuel mixture coming out of that tiny hole is very rich, therefore more if it makes the overall mixture of the bike richer.

I visualise it by being in a helicopter over a river, the river is a light pink dye, coming into the river is a stream, the stream is a dark rich blackcurrant red (Ribena). before the stream entered it was a pink river, downstream from the the merger is now red.

so 2.5 turns out means that your PJ is too small.

larger PJ = PS out 1.5 turns.

Ok, and I have a size 52!!
But my throttlestop is modded so my throttlestop makes it about 2-3mm higher than a normal idle-screw that is screwed in all the way.
In my experience the torque will be improved from idle when opening the throttle(and under idle) this way, never stalls with a good mixture (unless the sparkplug gone to black).

so is this a round slide PHM or a square slide VHSB?

that 52 is very rich but correct if you have a large slide cutaway like 6mm ('60' punched underneath)

I have to question whether you are on the right tracks at all....

I have a square slide VHSB.
The bike goes and starts better than ever (8 years ownership)
so Im just going to finetune "the winning consept".
 
good luck. but 2.5 turns out on the PS indicates that you need a larger PJ....

Just for your interest:
Dellorto Info and parts can also be found here:
komplette Vergaser - Stein-Dinse Online-Shop

They provide nearly everything for Dellorto. They actually have a Ducati background but provide the complete Dellorto range. They're located in the northern part of germany, between Wolfsburg and Hanover...
 
It starts, IT STARTS!!!

I currently have a 46 pilot jet but I can probably go back to original 52 since I'm 3,5 turns out on the 46.

So what happened? During my jet try outs I snapped the kick start return spring. Taffy supplied one in no time but when I had it apart I took a good look at the decomp action on the kick start shaft. In my mind, and since I had tried just about everything, I thought that it opened the valves to much and for a too long duration when set according to the owners manual (2 mm play). When slacked too much the cable could jump which is no good either.

So I took the shaft to the lathe and turned down the decomp cam about 1-1.5 mm in diameter. This way I can reduce the play on the decomp. I fitted a manual decomp in addition but on the 600 really need the kickstart decomp too in my mind, otherwise it just stops when it meets compression half way through the kick motion.

So - find TDC, manually release the compression, go just past TDC, release kick all the way up and kick through the whole motion. Started right up cold with choke. Ran it hot and restarted without choke.
