Carb issue I think....

[aztec warrior]

So I have a harbor freight greyhound 6.5. I bought a new stock carb (amazon), rlv stock muffler, under seat staged header and a fancy air filter kit from o m b warehouse Before installing all this the bike ran great. After installing just now it runs like crap. Starts up fine and idles fine. When riding and giving throttle it bogs down a lot. Does it need a bigger jet or something. What did I miss here? Thanks in advance!

When installing a air filter and header you will need to rejet carb.most common jet size are 36 37 or 38.start with small jet first.retest and if needed to up one size at a time .

If it was me I would use a .035 jet, especially if the engine is still governed.

I run an open air filter and a .033 jet with the stock muffler on my governed 196.

What size jet does the stock muffler come with? Also is the jet all I need to change? I notice there is a tube that falls out when I pull the jet out. Do I need to do anything with that as well or just rejet and I’m good?

Thanks for replying! Still learning all this stuff... what size jet comes with the stock carb?

Stock jets are .028. You should be able to run with just a jet change and keep the stock E tube (that fell out).
