Pilot Jet vs Pilot Air Screw??

[Syd]

Hi Folks

1980 GS1000G

I've been following a number of threads relating to carby issues. It's more or less for learning rather than a specific issue. It turns out, I've become confused the more I read. That's not difficult I suppose.

To the point for clarification regarding the "Pilot Air Screw".

Is the one located in the image here, the "Pilot Air Screw?



Is this one supposed to be adjustable or is it meant to be screwed in until it bottoms out?


Cheers

Edit: I'll have to work out how to get the image a bit smaller.

No, that's the air jet. Your carbs don't have an "air" screw. The BS carbs have a Pilot screw, which controls fuel/air emulsion flow (so basically, a fuel screw).

Thanks for the reply. Another case of me "overthinking".

Yes - I have a copy of the Carb rebuild tutorial. Very handy resource.
