![]() CRB-D12-1.1-TI $99.95 Standard drop-in carb kit |
![]() Adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling! Suggest using a BMC replacement air filter for increased airflow. you sent me (overnite, thank
you very much!) the ducati 900ss kit last month with needle jets (I
also sent you the pix of my naked ST with a factory pro jet kit) and
jeee-zusss! It may as well be a new bike. Float levels were 2-3mm high
and once adjusted and everything installed, the bike was perfect _ started
immediately idles smoothly and pulls hard. ...................................... 2008 May 1 Hi! I just put on the Ti Pro carb kit and the emulsion tubes on my M900. After spending a few hours finally my bike runs as a really Monster. Having trying other carb kit in the past with no success in performance i need to say thanks for the information on your website and recommend the FACTORY PRO CARB KIT as the ONLY kit that really works and solves problems!

![]() Replace worn bare brass needle jets in stock carbs with Factory Pro's own stock replacement nickel plated needle jets. The needle, stock or aftermarket, will wear the needle jet orifice oblong - causing excess fuel to flow at cruise and low rpm. Additionally, the fuel that does get released is in larger, less burnable droplets. Replace the emulsion tubes / needle jets if there is more than 10k miles of varied use or 5k miles of in town driving on the bike before trying to tune. You will save time and energy. Note that, with fuel level adjustments, you can make some mixture adjustments with the "fuel level", as adjusted by "float height" changes.

NEW Factory Pro BMC air filter
NO stock replacement air filter filters out more dirt and flows more air with less pressure drop than BMC. It's F-1 Ferrari's first choice. |

ND-X24epr-ZU9 Platinum Tip Spark PlugsWe stock and distribute Denso spark plugs. Dealer inquiries invited.~$10 USD |
Denso (ND, Nippon Denso) is the largest
OEM supplier for autos and motorcycles of electrical components in the
world. Sometimes, people forget that Denso makes pretty darn good spark
plugs, too! Wide heat range properties discourage plug fouling at low
speed AND overheating at high speed. We have been using Denso spark plugs in our AMA Supersport bikes since Denso was Nippon Denso and ND. We have found that some standard, <$10, off the shelf, Denso spark plugs work as well as $125 special spark plugs - on a professional roadrace level! Codes: X = 12mm thread with 18mm spark plug wrench required 24 = Heat range. (Hint - it is ~3x NGK #. I.E. an "8" heat range in NGK) E = 3/4" reach P = Projected tip type plug R = Resister type internal construction Z = Thin platinum center electrode w/ tapered ground (side) electrode U = "U Groove" side electrode for better spark and finally.. 9 = is "pregapped" at .9mm (I think you should check all "pregapped" plugs before you install them...That's my paranoia showing.) |

Got your jet kit for my 1997 M900 ducati (stock airbox with full
ducati performance exhaust), installed it "drop it" using base settings (middle
clip and 145 main jet, 42.5 pilot) using your new plated needle jets and this bike
FINALLY runs perfect! I have been fighting with jetting this thing for weeks and
is probably why this bike only had 3500 miles on it. Ran like crap at part throttle
cruise (missing and stumbling) and weak power unless wide open over 4500 RPM and
ran out of juice at 6500. Now it pulls strong everywhere and runs smooth as silk.
Thanks again for a great product!
And tell Marc that Stuart Anderson says hey. :-)

My God! It's a miracle! Bless you, bless you!
I've been fighting with this damn M900 jetting for nearly three years. I've
had the carburetors on and off and changed the jetting so many times that I could
do it in the dark. I've spent big money to have Ducati "experts" try their
hands to no avail. Even Dynojet, whose stage II kit I've been trying to use,
had no solutions. The general consensus was that this bike simply was not
going to run cleanly a low throttle settings. Crap! How could this be?
Hell, they're just plain old Mikuni carburetors! Then I stumbled onto your
web site about worn emulsion tubes.
Praise be! Your magic little emulsion tubes have cured every thing.
(Well, not everything but at least my Monster jetting troubles). I now, after
all these years, have a great running Ducati Monster. I am , once again, a
happy man.
Thanks,

| Float Height Setting Trick for 38 Mik's | |
| One of the problems with
setting the float height on the 38mm downdraft Mikuni's that come on
Ducati's, yzf 750's, tdm 850's and fzr1000's, is that the darn white
plastic "float cage" keeps popping out of the carb body unless you
hold it in. When you hold it in with your fingers, you always flex the cage frame and distort the reading that you are setting the float height at..... Aaarrggghhh!! :-) After spending 45 minutes setting some yzf750 carbs in the sweltering Mid Ohio heat of summer, I decided to make a float cage holder and sell 'em! I'd make a million $$!! |

| When I got back to work, I
set up and made a pile of cute little flat braces. As I was sitting there, admiring my cleverness...... one of my parts guys wandered by and asked what was I making? I showed him that you could just take my clever little piece of aluminum and hold those float cages right tightly up into their seated position - so you could get consistent float height readings. |

| He says..... It looks like you could just put the float bowl on with the front holes on the bowl lined up with the rear holes on the carb body and slap some screws in and it would do the same thing........... |

million $$ I didn't make....

Hello. Here’s the pics you asked for! Thanks for the help, the bike runs BEAUTIFULLY now, lots more power! The front end now comes up on the throttle – whereas it didn’t before! There’s another pic in there too where I used a bar code to measure the bowls. I found this a lot easier than using a ruler. I measured the bar next to the number “8” on my barcode to be the recommended height on my bike – 14mm. -Mike Beary
Thanks Mike, for the pics! |

| The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |

Maybe in next rewrite, he'll fix the ignition timing and dyno chapters... Otherwise great book with great starting ideas. |
