JETTING AND CARBS

Customers have had success using many different models and sizes of carbs with single intakes for the virago/vstar. Those carbs and jet combinations worked well on any single intake. Here some of the jetting recipes from a nationally known builder of viragos both competitively and spotlighted in motorcycle magazine articles.  

*

For the big bikes 920 and 1100:

harley cv carb the 40mm with accel pump.  

pilot jet 48 with main jet 170.

 jet needle HD# 27094-88

this will work well on the 750 as well if dropping the pilot jet size. 

Because of the virago starter issues the builder recommends turning the throttle twice prior to hitting the starter button to get fuel into the cyl ready for spark to save the starter system.  

*

For the vm 34MM mikuni round slides.  

for the 700/750 cc bikes.  so for single carb the jetting recommended is.  

pilot jet 20 with main jet 145.

needle 6DH3 center notch on the circlip.

needle jet a 159 series, P-6.

air jet leave stock in place.  not necessary to remove.  if a rich issue then remove.
