Has anyone ran there oddyssey in the winter. I have a stock fl350 rebuilt top end and k&n filter. I want to run it in the winter and I couldn't find any information on it (probably should have started with the manual) but i was wondering if anyone has run one in the winter. I was planning on just changing the main a few sizes bigger, any thoughts would be appreciated. Experience in cold weather running preferred.

The manual has a section in it regarding jetting for altitude and temperature. With the K&N filter it changes the jet sizing a bit. What main jet size do you have in it now? Rand |

I actually haven't checked yet. Im assuming its stock. I kinda wanted to get an idea of what I should do before I pulled the carb off so I could order some extra jets. |

More than likely the carb has a larger than stock main jet in it due to the lack of filtration with the K&N filter, that is unless someone has smartened up and put an additional filter over the top of the K&N. Your going to need to pull the carb and check main jet size first. Rand |

I put the K&N in this summer and I never changed the jet. In your opinion how much bigger should I go then the stock carb? and what also would you recommend for summer application. Im pretty mechanically inclined and understand how the carb works. Just my tuning experience is minimal. |

Just pull the carb and find out what size the main jetting is. Until you do you are just guessing. You may be running on the edge of burning a hole through the top of the piston. If you don't know already, you need to learn to read a spark plug to tell if you are running lean or not. Rand |

white is lean, wet is rich. I know that just trying to get a rough idea on what Ill need when it comes off. Judging by this chart I should be good with a 145 main, 4th groove, 1.5 turns out. Im at about 200 meters. Also what do you mix your gas at? It says 20:1 but i mix it about 30:1 with a good oil.

That chart is for a NON MODIFIED factory intake system. Yours is modified with the K&N. Most of us mix a 32 to 1 with a good quality oil, not the wally world weed eater oil. Rand |

ok i got you so k&n means more air so i need more fuel to compensate correct? so maybe a 147, i use yamalube not the best oil but ive had very good luck with it. |

Hmmm, resistance to the pulling of the carb is strong in this one (said in my best Darth Vader voice). ![]() Unless you know specifically what the previous owner has done to your Ody, you will never know what size is in that sucker. I have rebuilt at least 6 of these things and I am never ceased to be amazed at what crap I have found that the previous owner has done! Rand |

Rand don't worry he will pull the carb once the Engine is poofkaboom. |

When I bought mine it had a 148 and ran pig rich. Guy had his "Engine guy" work on getting it runing good for him. Ya..... Mine was running perfect with a 145, but after using up the tank of gas that came with the machine, with my own mix its now rich again, so I'm going to put a 142 in it next. But those numbers are all relative, you have a modded air intake, mine is stock. |
