    Which order for installing air screws?

    When you install air screws into the carb, there is a tiny metal washer, a rubber "O" ring, a short spring and the air screw.....what order are they installed in? Thanks!

    1) Spring slides on first & stops against the large dia screw head.
    2) Small washer next, to provide a flat suface for the spring to compress against.
    3) O-ring last.

    Take care when re-threading back into the carb body so as not to cross those VERY fine threads. Screw it down until it's GENTLY seated, then back out 2 turns as a starting point. Once the bike is started, adjust from there.

      A drop of mineral oil or silicone grease on the o-ring is advised to keep it from chunking when you install the screw.

          Anyone know where to get those little o-rings? I haven't been able to find them on OEM drawings, since you aren't supposed to be able to get to them.

          I lost one on my rebuild.

            Here's the best value on the internet - hopefully you're replaced ALL the o-rings in the carbs, as well as the intake O-rings.
