Can somebody explain what air correctors are?

[mvvette97]

I have been reading about them that they need to be used with a modded air box or if running just the filters. I tried searching for pictures but didn't find any. So what are they for?

 

[maleko89]

They richen up the main air jet. They are needed because with individual filters you go way lean on the intake side. Shorter velocity track too.

 

[mvvette97]

so what do they look like? I searched google but couldn't find anything

 

[maleko89]

They look similar to a main jet but aren't threaded on the end. Here's the top of one.

ahh ok so they pretty much restrict the air to certain parts of the carbs?

 

[maleko89]

Yes, main function of main air jet is to work with main fuel jet.

My first time to see them also, could this be used as a remedy for a lean condition from exhaust mods ? are they costly and easily removed should you find you have gone too rich ?

never thought about that. My guess is that it wouldn't work just popping those in to fix a lean condition but I may be wrong. Be interesting to find out

They are $10 a set. Easy to install but not as easily removed (though not hard with the right size extractor). With the modified air box or individual filters the bike will flat not rev - just idle. I don't think this would work to correct a lean condition.

They are a bit easier to remove if you put some finger nail polish remover first. Then, screw in a sheet metal screw and pull with some pliers.

Hey folks I'm about to have a stage 7 (dyno jet) installed and I was wondering if these air correctors are in my kit or are they already in my stock carbs?

I was looking in the parts list for my kit and there is nothing says air corrector . is there another name for them.

thanks Steiny

 

[maleko89]

Stage 7 should come with air correctors.

 

[steiny]

ok thanks I will look again , I will have to read the parts list again.
