skyteam ace 125 carb rejet

Installing the two jets for the carb on the skyteam ace apparently improves warm up and performance. I believe it also makes the mix richer but that's yet to be confirmed.

I only recommend doing this if you are replacing the stock muffler and removing the cat else it may run too rich when idling.

Using the OORacing jets http://www.ooracing.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=4315 these are the steps to rejet the carb. The job is easily done if the exhaust gas recycling gear has been removed.

Tools required. You will want a screwdriver with multiple heads as the carb uses finer heads and the fairings large heads. It is worth noting that you are dealing with brass screws that are fragile and do not like over-tightening or poor treatment.

Turn your fuel tap to off. Put the carb drain hose into a bucket and unscrew the drain bolt and the fuel will empty. Not much fuel.

Removing the right fairing. Once the bolt is removed, pull hard to get the fairing out of the rubbers.

Unscrew the hose clamp and remove from carb. Apply force but be careful not to bend the hose clamp which is fairly flimsy.

10mm wrench to remove the carb bolts. When re-installing make sure these are very tight.

With a lot of wrestling the carb will come out if you twist and pull it down. The air intake hose will fight you all the way but take it slow and it will come out. Remove the 3 bolts at the bottom of the carb.

The two jets are pictured below (Holding the pilot jet). Remove both. Re-install with care and do not over-tighten. Be very careful not to bend the float as these parts are highly sensitive.

Take the screw from the main jet. Probably best to do this in a vice with wood instead of the pliers as you can (as I did) scuff the housing. Install the new screw.

Do the same with the pilot jet.

Adjust the idle as pictured and the fuel mix screw which is screw with a grip underneath the carb outlet.

This will take some time and some care. Only make small adjustments (1 hour out of 12). Tighten to increase, loosen to decrease. Wait a minute after each adjustment. If you are using the stock muffler and cat it may no longer like slow idles.

It is best to start with the idle screw at the bottom of the carb all the way in (lean). And to keep your idle at a moderate pace. Slowly increase the fuel mix screw as you slowly decrease the idle until it happily idles just above stalling. This is the minimum for it to run, but at this point I prefer to increase the fuel mix so it runs richer on idle to stay warm and prevent stalling at lights. I also prefer to increase the idle for the same reason.
