    no

    probably wont even ride with the stock rollers/jet.. will blow up if ridden

    this is why 70 kits are notorious for blowing up, people know setup is important but ignor it thinkin "it will be ok.. doesent HAVE to be done" it does.

    find another shop.. ordering a jet? my god

    ask your bike... it can tell you.
    mabey if you READ a post other than your own you may find that jetting is not a fixed affair and having half a clue how to set your bike up should be the FIRST thing on your agenda.. not throwing parts at it and hoping. see the booklet that came with your "70's kit blad" read it.. then find the jetting guides/million and one posts about jetting YOUR EXACT BIKE written in the last 6 weeks and you might just have a bike that lasts 5 mins.

    im getting SO fed up with this "post my question for an answer rather than reading a little" attitude round here... if you were a little more patient you would learn alot more..

    Mines right next to my keyboard right now... I had the chance to fit it yesterday but I didn't because I'm waiting for my Jets and spark plug to come...

    and theirs a guide to learn what to feel, listen for to what the bike is saying.

    is a very very good guide,

    might seem abit complicated at first but read it over and over and will get it. ;)

    i read it fuck knows how many times and it really helped alot.

    setup is a short running affair in most cases.. get it close and then refine.. needs a QUCK blast full throttle to see how its running. dont be afraid to rev it m8, its setup not riding for 20 mins at full throttle.

    well you wont be able to judge fuck all when its seized.

    obviously before you run it.

    just upjet to around what you think better on rich side than lean. run it it and then give it all the tuning to get it right.

    why not just just throw a bigget jet and some lighter rollers in when you fit the kit ?

    then go out run it in abit the while running it in you will know whats need doing if you have a read of the guide then when it ready for some beans re-tune it

    Well think about it... A bigger engine will need more fuel :]

    Can't wait till my jets come so I can get my kit on :D Ordered them on the 23rd from scooter-attack.com so I don't have a clue when they'll get here ;'(
