TE/TC JD Jetting kit on my TE300 (so far good)

I installed James Dean's 300 (Kato/Husaberg-Husky kit into my TE300.
rode yesterday at our well known zone, for best testing. Got @ 20MPG which is alot better than my Mexico ride day.
Bike ran good temps were in 60s (cooler) but we are heading for the heat soon.
P35 (OEM stock)
M162 (JD Altitude/heat spec)
BLU-2
AS-2.5 (we went there from JD 1.5) OEM is 2)
mix@ 50:1

OEM PV setting

Altitude is 3500-4k ft
Temps are going up now and will avg @ 75F

Is it a PWK 38 AS on that bike?

Kyle,

Keihin PWK 36S AG according to the OEM tech data sheet in the owners manual
All TE models use that same carb 125-250-300 all locations EU,AUS,USA

The OEM M jet call out for my normal pressure Alt is 165, the JD kit has me at 162 which is fine, we rarely pin the thing where we ride, its mostly mid range stuff and the JD kit feels smooth so far. We are doing another hardcore trail ride (but shorter loop @40-50 mile) this weekend in the same area as our long loop hammerdown ride (@70mi), so this will be a great comparison test. I know there is the base standard with jetting but I also believe there is the personal set up agenda as well.
example-our oldest crew member runs all his stuff to a little fat setting including his pilot, to keep is power smooth, he does not want a racy lean sharp set up, its set for not fouling but a little "wet" setting but no "burble" either....so to the rich side of the runs good spec. Me I want something in the middle not to sharp not too smooth.

i have the JD kit that has been on three bikes, a gas gas 300, a husky wr300 and now i have a 14 te300. JD said today the needles were the same with the kits. The also said they should send KTM/HUSQ some fruit baskets for all the biz they get on late model bikes due to the factory jetting LOL. Still waiting for an email with instructions and starting points.

Did your jd kit spec a 38 pilot?

JD oem P jet=35

The instructions they sent me said 38 pilot. Blue in clip 2 and 162 for three to five k feet. That's wierd

Im grabbing my instructions to look again...my instructions are from a kit bought a few years ago for my friends KTM300XC, maybe James updated the pilot spec ? JDK014 kit says kit uses the oem pilot jet which in mine MY14 TE300 is a 35. I will call JD and check in. Some of my crew swear by using 40P to make their kato 300s come off super smooth from the bottom. But with James needle tapers I dont want to mix jetting apples and oranges. Maybe he spec'd a 38 for later models as stated in your kit, I just checked this kit I have is for 08-09 300 ktms its older than i thought. Bryan check in about your kit part number, I am sure yours is probably the latest version, no?

I just emailed JD for update, I saw the new kits are 08-14 listed, but they have not yet added t he new Husky TC TE 250-300 yet

Here is a screen shot of the instructions they sent me.

James and family/crew, I have an older 08-09 JDK014 Kit that I have installed into my 2014 Husqvarna TE300 are all the kit needle, PJ, AS and MJ specs the same for these KTM/Husaberg and now Husky 300s? Someone mentioned that his newer kit calls out to use a 38P my spec is set for alt temp 3k-6k BLU-2 OEM 35P AS 1.5-1.75 162M Thank you Rob Nantista, San Diego Ca.On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 11:04 AM,

Robert,
You can get away with that if you are just trail riding the bike. The needle setting and main should be fine , but sometimes when you run the bike a little hard the bike likes a little richer on the pilot . Try it and see how it works for you. If you get a hanging idle when running the bike hard then switch over to the 38 pilot and readust your air screw, other than that , have fun!

Thank YouDave

I will be installing the 38P. Don't want that throttle chop lean surge coming from hard on the gas at higher RPMs. 38P will be safer. Thanks Bryan!

when i bought my bike they told me they set it up per Huskys chart. wrong. they had the way wrong needle in it. had it set for like 10k feet and some temp if i remember right. that was a little dissapointing. I had them pull the 162 main they put in it out and go back to a 165. glad i did that and it was just an easy break in run because they had the needle out of spec. what really made me notice was i came to a small creek, grabbed some throttle to get the front end up and got nothing but a bog and a facefull of water. So i put the JD kit in. leanest main i had was a 165 and i really wanted a 162 per JDs chart in it. with blue needle clip 2 and a 165 it was a dog. Hoping leaning it up a little will wake it up. I was hoping the new TE would be similar power to my 12 wr300 but so far that doesnt seem to be the case, at least with the jetting i had so far. rode 5 to 6k feet at 50 degrees with that set up.

38pj , red #3, 165 mj in my 250 . Runs Great got 28 mpg at China Hat ISDE

curious as to what elevation temp and mix ratio you were using?

0-6000 ft , 50's , 32:1

The red is the 3 scribe

thanks, I was just wondering the specs to see where you liked it vs JDs recommendations on the 250..

follow on note

Rob,
I would install that 38 if you do race hard. You should notice a difference in the throttle bark on the bike also.

Thank You

BLU-2
AS1.5
Alt 3-6k
avg temp coming into 75F+ (summer temps)
I'm 50:1 guy with high quality premium (76,Shell etc), fatter on fuel. always mix what you like...because mix ratios are arguable as religion just jet properly for your mix ratio.

from my last 2 hardcore trail rides my exhaust is non wet but black, I am ok with that. dont need to get overly surgical.

I'm going to try a 162 this friday.
