Pilot Jet adjustment question
80GS750L, When I first got the bike there were rubber plugs covering the pilot jets(mixture) and they had melted into the bowls. I took them all out and cleaned the bowls up. Now I have the carbs off of the bike and from what I have read you are supposed to turn these mixture screws out two full turns. Well, they were screwed in all of the way not to mention that there were plugs keeping any air or anything from reaching the jet. I am starting to think that maybe I should replug it and screw it in all of the way. I am a little confused at this point.Tags: None -

The actual screws that do the mixture adjustment are under plugs on the top, head side of the carbs. The ones you've located should be lightly seated and replugged. -

There is a passage way that connects the main jet with the pilot jet. The main during the pilot stage doesn't take in gas because it is blocked by your needle but it is sucked into your pilot circuit. If you don't have the cap on it will be sucked throuugh both which equals a rich condition.Comment
