Jammin JPX .21
#121
Since this has now turned into a discussion..My manual says use only genuine Picco glow plugs....I have never spoken with Jay, but I have had a few conversations with Maximo through PM's when I was considering buying one of his jammin mods. ( I bought stock instead) In my book, I would think Maximo to be the expert on these engines..He told me the composites used in the jammin carbs are better than the composites in the picco carbs, which Is where I got my info from when people ask me why buy the jammin over the Picco but hey, what the hell do I know........
The Jammin and Picco use the same composites, however I agree that the jammin carbs are superior.. The new Picco carbs do not have removable inserts, in order to cut costs Picco has gone away with the machined inserts, which now does not allow you to tune the engine using inserts.. The Jammin carb is the exact same carb but it still uses the machined aluminum inserts, which I like..... Both carbs still can suffer from the same leaking issues.....

What factory of carb inserts we can use in the JPX 21 carb and what restrictor (7, 8, 9mm) works better?

Picco carb restrictors fit..The carb itself if you look into it is tappered almost like its made for an insert, but no insert is included...The taper is 8MM so that would be the ideal insert, but for longer run times, with a slight drop off in power go with the 7 mm..you have to look around..Picco based Venturi's are kinda hard to find...maybe someone can post a link..I had mine made..

The sheet that came in the box with my jpx says:
HSN = 5 1/2 turns out from closed
LSN = 6.5 - 7.5 turns out from closed or 1 turn out from ball end
HSN = 5 1/2 turns out from closed
