RE: look at my piston wash and tell me what you think

I just done the motor on my mmax 700 triple, broke it in for 200 miles and pulled the head what do you think by the pics? am I too lean or too rich? i dont' know how to tell with piston wash?

Here is the link with the pics>http://www.robertdawe.ca/Pistons.htm

I would say your pto is rich center a little rich and I can't tell on the mag but that is probably rich also.

That's wha I was hoping, I wanted to jet a little rich at first, now I can lean out, but another question, is this piston wash general or is it like just for main's or pilots? or all????

You must check each circuit in the carbs individualy what I am saying is ride your sled with the throttle from idle to 1\4 this is your pilot jet for about a mile or two then kill the motor leaving the throttle in the same position pull your plugs and with a bend a light you can check your wash then repeat the same process with your throttle in the 1\4 to 2\3 open this is your needle jet then repeat the same process with it wide open this is your main jet you need to have about a 1\4" to a 1\2" wash on your pistons the bigger the wash the fatter you are jetted I run a 1\4" wash on my Viper and it runs great also don't forget to do it when it is cold because if you jet on a warm day you will run lean or burn down on a cold day.
