Hi Mick:
Don't know anything about your bike except that it is running rich.
If you can't lean it out manually you'll need to consider smaller jets as one way to change the mixture.

Testimonial: "Ok Ted Thanks for that."

Can i use a bigger pilot jet with factory main jet

Pull the spark plug and see what it looks like with the original jet. it should be light brown and not covered with goo. If it is then the 40 is too big, If you change it out, drive it a while and check the plug again. The jet size is dependent on altitude and a smaller jet is better at high altitude so that you dont run rich.

Trailer Wiring

Hello all,

For those of you that need to wire up a trailer or have to occasionally borrow trailers and look at the wiring plugs with disdain (I mean face it they don't make sense, grd is white, +12vdc is black, etc), this is for you.

Plug Types/Application
7 Way - RV Trailers, Horse and Utility Trailers
6 Way - Horse, Stock and Utility
4 Way - Utility Trailers

Columns are: Color, Function, Mark on the plug.

Seven wire Trailer plugs:

Horse, stock or utility trailers:

White = Ground - 1
Blue = Electric Brakes - 2
Brown = Tail and clearance lights - 3
Black = Battery, aux power - 4
Yellow = Left turn/Brake - 5
Green = Right turn Brake - 6
Orange or Purple (not both) = Auxilliary or Reverse - 7

Recreational Vehicle:
White = Ground - 1
Blue = Electric Brakes - 2
Green = Tail and clearance lights - 3
Black = Battery, aux power - 4
Red = Left turn/Brake - 5
Brown = Right turn Brake - 6
Yellow = Auxilliary or Reverse - 7


Six wire trailer plugs:

Horse, stock or utility trailers:
White = Ground - GD
Yellow = Left turn/Brake -LT
Green = Right turn Brake -RT
Brown = Tail and clearance lights - TM
Red or Black (not both) = Battery, aux power - A
Blue = Electric Brakes - S

Recreational Vehicle: (color, use, plug mark)
White = Ground - GD
Brown = Right turn Brake - RT
Green = Tail and clearance lights -TM
Black = Battery, aux power - A
Red = Left turn/Brake - LT
Blue = Electric Brakes - S


Four wire plugs:
White = Ground
Yellow = Left turn/Brake
Green = Right turn Brake
Brown = Tail and clearance lights


Ground should be 10ga.
Others 14 ga

A test light and a 12VDC power source can be handy for trouble shooting.

What,s the reason for my honda crf 100 sparkplug getting so dirty all the time i need to keep cleaning it to get it to fire everytime can anyone assist on this problem please help????????????????

The bike may have the wrong spark plug in it. The stock plug is NGK, CR7HSA. You may want to go to a hotter plug > CR6HSA. It is also possible that a prior owner installed a bigger main jet. Check the main jet size. The jet will have a number stamped on one side. Stock is #92. A #98 jet would be a richer jet. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

Do you know what the carb settings would be for a 01 zx6r kawi with a hmf high mount exhaust

If only full exhaust system and air filter use 10 units larger MAIN jets and recheck the spark plugs for brown color.NOT white nor black.
The floaters should cut off the fuel just when they are parallel to the canister surface (if they are adjustable).
Don't change the idle jets.Use the stock.The needles stock setting as well.
