1173 to a CEL
I am currently running a 1173 clip in 3rd groove, 155 mj 40 pj. I am getting lots of spoo but runs great through-out, lots of 2nd gear grunt. Also I am mixing at 32:1 as I share gas with my kids walnut sized piston in his 65 (No spoo). With temps. warming I know it is time to lean out the jetting, so when I put the CEL needle in should I go ahead with a 152mj 38 pj? I know it is best to make one change at a time, but if the CEL is gonna let more gas in there it only makes sense. I tried reading the graph on needle tapers, but I am not real clear on it. Oh yeah, the 1173 would be a BP, where is a good position for the needle clip too, Thanks

Just swap the needle to start and then the jets from there. Start in the #3 clip position for the CEL.

I am still trying to sort out my jetting on the 200. I have heard several people recommend the CEL needle over the stock needle. Why is this? What are the similarities and differences?

"more gas sooner"
So does that mean I would need to lean out the lower circuits or leave as is?

Well maybe I will wait untill things dry out before I swap needles. If more gas sooner means more wheel spin when I need to tractor thru on the quad rutted clay "Brown Ice" trails. Wheel spin usually results in the back wanting to pass the front and me on my a$$.

Well the CEL deffinetly fattened things up..way to rich I even dropped the needle to #2 still could not get my a/s tuned. So back went the 1173 with a 38 p/j 153 m/j still grinning like a dufus. I even got poorman RB'd (thumbscrew adjuster) nice.

How much richer is the CEL needle? Are we talking drastic changes or minor tuning?
