anyone ever changed the main jets in a dpm sled? tore mine down for a top end kit and the pistons where thick coated with carbon. just a small clean spot by the intake. carbs have 510 main jets. thinkin about droping to 500"s. any ideas? 2002 700 summit

Yeah I'd go down a size or 2, watch that piston wash, those little wash marks are perfect for judging your jet size, Thumbnail size wash marks. If you have a lotta carbon buildup that may indicate excessive oil? I know the 02 800 was rich on the oil pump setting from the factory, dealer reset it for me on a ride, he used a certain size wrench to gauge the slack in the cable, don't remember what it was, do some research or check with a dealer. Rave valves clean?

rave valves are oily but no carbon to speek of. I do take them out and clean them a couple times a year to insure no problems there.
