Interceptor jetting
« on: January 05, 2017, 09:14:56 PM »
I acquired an Interceptor that came from altitude? It is equipped with 36 VM mikuni carbs with the power jets. I am looking for recommendations for jetting at nearly sea level. All help will be appreciated.

Welcome to the site!!  I think that carb swap has been done a few times so someone here has the answer.  Have you tried to run it?

Thanks for the replys. No I have not tried to run it, as I am going thru the fuel system. I am hoping to hear from someone that has successfully used the 36's on the 550.

I would strongly recommend discarding the 36 powerjets for some 38 non powerjets. where are you in Nebraska?

There was a guy from Iowa several years ago who took stock 4/6 carbs and put them on a 550.  He claimed it ran great.
