I've found it's best to start with standard jets (you already have them anyway) and work up from there.

In very general terms 'Olds's' about on the money, as the usual reason for modifying jetting these days is due to fitting a less restrictive, aftermarket, silencer, and this rarely requires a main jet increase of more than 'one size' up for most four-strokes, 2 strokes are another matter, so set up what you have CORRECTLY first,to ensure clean running over the complete range of opening, then do a plug "chop" or two to assess where you are top end wise......................Morrag
