just picked up a 98 rmk 600. guy used to ride it in colorado, brought it to Maine four years ago and ended up putting 50 miles on in those four years.
When i bought it he told me he adjusted the clutch for the altitude change but i never thought to ask if the carbs got adjusted.
I found info in the service manual about factory jetting, which i assume is for higher elevation than i will find in Maine. I havent pulled the carbs apart to see what the jetting looks like, just looking for a starting point for when we get snow.
Factory jetting is 160 mains and 45 pilots with the jet needle in the #2 position.
Now looking at the xc 600 factory jetting, 185 mains and 45 pilots with the jet needle in the #3 position. Should i just use this as a baseline to start with once snow flies and adjust accordingly? or does anybody who has more experience with this engine have a better suggestion?
Im not a professional mechanic by any means but i do understand the concept of jetting, kind of just want to know where to begin
