Dellorto PHM 38 SD jetting KTM625

Joined Oct 2009

Hello, I found on this forum many info about dellorto carburators. Because there aren't many fora where people have knowledge about dellorto carbs, Ill give it a try here.

I have a KTM LC4 600(`94) with a 625cc cilinder(2001) on it but I have a hard time to jet it right

I've got these jettigs

Main jet: 200
Atomizer beneath Main jet: 272DR
ChokeJet: 50
Idle jet: 48 (should this one lower)
Tube beneath idle jet: CD1?)
Needle K51 (clip on second from top) + Needle tube (both just replaced)
And which Needle vale and seat should I take which are under the float cause I didn't replaced them yet (I Gues 300).

The problem is when I give short litlle revs my bike sometimes dies. And when I give full throthle the first 50% of my bike doesn't seem to have much power, but when I reach higher revs it comes a little alive. I need to start my bike without choke, or else it dies (to richt?) It's also hard to put wheely's in first and second gear - I thought that KTM's (Also the older ones) should easily put wheely's in lower gears, am I right?

Before this I had a worn out Needle + needle tube(atomizer). My plug was black. When my bike was warm it was a ***** to start. After changing the needle + atomizer my bike had high revs when it was at idle. I turned this down with the mixture/idle screw. But it doesn't ride that well. But I can start the bike when it is warm. The plug is still black (washer) and the electrode is also black with a little bit yellow in the middle

I read a lot about PJ (Pumpjet I gues, but I don't have it) and modding the slide? How about that?

Another little question. On the right of this picture there's some own manufactured screw http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3945/img2846e.jpg what does that do? I can push it in and out for a few mm's. Should it be in or out?
 
I think you are way way way too rich. 40mm Dells are used on the Husaberg 600's and up so with only a 38 on a 625 the venturi signal is going to be huge (which means that you will need realatively smaller jets as the beast is sucking hard)

Start going down on the main, 190 then 180 etc., my guess is about 170 will be the one, maybe even lower, a 160 perhaps.

Decrease the pilot jet incrementally also, around a 35 or 38 may work good.

Once in the ball park you may want to go to a leaner needle also as that controls 1/4 to 3/4 throttle.

The home brew screw sticking out is either the fuel screw or the idle screw. I think its the idle.
 
Ok, I have some main jets to change down to 170 with steps of 5. But with how many steps should I lower the Idle jet? 45/40/38/35 ? And should I also change my choke-jet (to 40?)?

And which Needle vale/seat should I use and which weight float?

These are all the carb parts for your bike, I think, including original and optional jets. I can't predict exactly what your jetting should be. Obviously your bike runs so it is not too far out. Make one change at a time and retest. If you make multiple changes at the same time it could get very confusing.

I just installed a 195 main jet. But when I give full throtle it holds in/hesitate. So I think it's now to lean on the main jet, because with the 200 I can rev to the end.

or could the mixturescrew affect this?

The mixture screw only affects idle and below. Read this:


ROLL-OFF:

The Roll-Off technique is the quickest and is almost as accurate as the Roll-On method. First, one gets the engine warm on the way to a safe roadway. If there is room, use fourth gear as this allows more time to assess the result.

Now, get the engine rpm high enough that it is on the cam and in its power band. This may need to be as high as 4000 rpm with some cam choices. Apply full throttle. Let the engine accelerate for a couple of seconds until it has settled in and is pulling hard. Quickly roll the throttle off to about the 7/8ths position. When you do this, the mixture richens slightly for a second or so.
If the engine gains power as you roll the throttle off, then the main jet is too small and you need to fit a larger one.
If the engine staggers slightly or has a hard hesitation, then the main jet is too large and you need to fit a smaller one.

Your 200 main jet may be a little plugged up causing it to be a little smaller than a 200. A welders torch tip cleaner works good on jets.

Don't know... Will check it tommorow. What effect does it make when it is out of line?

Btw, above the holder for my mainjet there is some sort of cover. Something like this: \___/ is that normal? I don't see it on the parts diagram :/ http://www.motoguzzisti.com/files/dello ... ts-sec.pdf the mine is above part 78

Yes the shield around the main jet is normal.

If the float level is too high it can cause a rich condition. If its way too high it will leak out one or more of the overflow tubes.
 
Re: Float height?

Hello
I had problems when i came up to 4-6 gear and had open throttle, it almost died or hesitated.
And in very tricky tracks an lot of bumps it died sometimes
It was to little fuel in the carb, my flotheight was to low.

RE: Re: Float height?

Yesterday I went on the dyno and the bike was way to lean... The air/fuel meter didn't moved. Now I went back to my old needle (K5) with clip on the 4th line, main jet 210, idle jet 50, mixture screw 1 stroke out. It's much better now and more power. It still hestitate when I'm in lower revs and give suddenly full throtle. So maybe a bigger idle jet and another dyno run

But it's strange that I need such a big main jet. Everybody else got much smaller ones. I do have an open air box, maybe that's the one? Or is it because I have an other stroke/cilinder and a flowed head?
 
Hi!

I have a year 2000 Fe400e with the stock PHM 38 carb, and i was wondering if there is a way to tune my bike a bit. I've tried to serch, but it seems that there is no jetting kits for my Berg? So any hints how i could improve the performace?

I allready have the newer headers and Remus silencer.

Thanks!

Hej.
I have in my 400 -00 and 400 -99 following jetting, Dellorto PHM 38.
(Same as in the 501 -99 but with Dellorto PHM 40)
MJ 210
Atomizer 272DR
Needle K51
PJ 35 (perhaps 33, not 100% sure)
SJ 45
Mixture screw 2 turns out.

Tried smaller MJ from 175-200 but went back to 210, little rich but runs and start lovely.
Original exhaust.

if you can move it in and out it is probably leaking air and thus a vacuum leak. needs a good tight threaded fitting. you can tap it and fit a screw with a pointed tip.
 
Hi DarkOz

I have a ported head on my 400, and allways seems that I've needed larger mains, don't know if thats your case.

I have also one 600 with PHM 40, and never needed such large jets as you need ???

Also if you are one turn out on the PS, I don't think you will need a larger PJ.
