Here's my plan: 128 main jet
stock pilot
shim the needle
kdx snorkel
kouba a/f screw
fmf q4 slip on
smog stuff removed


heres my question : i have everything and am ready to go, i just dont know how many shims to put on the needle, the ones i have are .5mm thick, can anyone help?

 

Generally an .032" shim works very well; your shim (.5mm) is a little thin but doubling up (.039") would be slightly too large but may still work pretty decent, on the other hand I have not heard of anyone using two shims.

 

where can i get a .032" shim ?

 

A hobby shop.
I have a been full of old R/C car hardware and I was able to rummage through it and find a washer that fit the needle perfectly (correct ID and OD) and was .035" thick.
It worked great.

 

from everything ive read i think its ok to use 2 , anybody know about that?

 

I'd go 1.5 mm with the #128 main.

 

is it ok to use more than 1 shim on the needle ?

 

Use as many as you like. How high do you want to raise it?
At some point you'll lower it and go one up on the main jet.

 

my shims are .5mm so ill need to use 2 or 3.

 

I tried two shims recently on my 09 and it ran like ****. Just use one and you will be fine. Its the jetting of the main that is going to be more crucial than the shimming of your needle.
