I have my write up on one of the thread with hopefully some updates this spring and summer. My baseline jetting is what Mark said with some tweaks here and there for my application.
Do not underestimate the power of a two-stroke.

should get you close

Thank you, sir! I'm going to attempt properly jet the pods first, with the Y-Boot as an alternative. I'm collecting reference points for future modifications, so thank you again! I've jetted a few 2T dirt bikes (Beta), but all had electronic oil injection. This will be my first attempt with a premix bike.
 
Do you have a baseline recommendation for your pod bikes? A rough estimation would be very helpful. Your elevation and climate are similar to mine (GA). Current pilot and needle fat. Only change I've made is running 40:1 vs 50:1.


-Reed spacers (cylinder side)
-PWK 28mm
-Spec 2 classic pipes (possibly intended for an RD400)
-per your suggestion, Uni 4" PODs on the way.
-Dyna S ignition

TP: (not even under load)
0-1/4: VERY blubbery and inconsistent. 
1/4-3/4: distinctly feel the transition from pilot to needle. On a flat road, whack the throttle, very slow to wind up. 
3/4-WOT(7500-8000 RPM): front tire lifts and I laugh to myself.

thats probably mostly needle. use the same base w all foam pods, the jetting isn't much if any different usually.

FB can be helpful. Plenty of people on there that are not part of this forum. Just do your part by giving back to the community after you learn about these bikes.

The premix can be 40:1.

The air mixture screw is quite impactful to your throttle response on that PWK. Start with 1.5 turns out from flush and adjust after it warms up. Not sure if you got the PWK with a powerjet (pretty common), but that will impact your WOT.

I currently run OKOs on my bike, which is a clone of the PWK with oil injectors.
