I recently aquired a 1981 Liquid cool 340 Indy with no carbs. I know the came with 38mm's Anyone know the stock M.J's, pilots, slides or any tuning information ? I have a set of 38's off a Vmax540 but, they have the power jet's did the Polaris L.C. 340's use them ? Thanks !

No power jets stock on the Indy. I'll pull my extra carbs apart tomorrow and let you know the stock mains and pilots as I don't know them off the top of my head. For some reason 200 or 300 sounds right but don't even attempt to quote me.

Thanks Bryan, Do you have any pictures of your sled and any other tuning hints ?

My TX 340 has 30 pilots and either 290 or 300 mains stock, the txl should be pretty close
I think the needles are 6dh7 but Im not 100% on that, Cant remember the needle jet size

doesnt all this stuff depend on elevation too though? i thought you had to adjust because the higher you are, the less dense the air is. my sled (SD) woudnt run that great in the rockies because its not tuned for it, right? i have a txl 340, with s VM38SS mikuni's on it, too.

Usually your fine till about 3000 ft. Then you need to change weights, jets and springs.

Thanks guys ! I'm at 1200' elevation. Anyone know where I can find torque specs. on the crank case and head bolts since, I need a piston I think I'll replace all the gaskets and seals !

 

[xcr440]

I think this covers your engine, if not let me know.

XCR440 Thanks ! Yes the EC340PL should be it. Don't happen to have the torque #'s do you ? I know ....I'm pushing.....

 

[Haggie]

i am at school now, but when i get home i will put torque specs up. they are written down at home, and i dont have them memorized. i am rebuilding my engine too this fall. kinda late, i know, but there is STILL no snow in the forecast.

yes the mains are 260's and the air screw 1 turn. have an 80 txl myself, and if properly tuned right they will run, got mine set up for 1,000 foot speed runs and consistantly running in the mid to upper 70's in 1,000 foot. best run of 79.998 mph.
