    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello, I am relatively new to the forum. I have a simple question that is not so simple to me. I have completely rebuilt this carb. When I removed the pilot air jets from the back side of the carb (airbox side) they where snug tight. Is this an adjustable air jet or were they proper by being snug tight?
 
They were properly snug.

The adjustable items on these carbs are very few:
1. Float height. Spec is 22.4 mm +/- 1.0 mm
2. Idle speed. 1050 rpm +/- 50 rpm.
3. Pilot screw (also known as "mixture" screw) on the top of the engine side of the carb. Start with it 3 full turns out from 'lightly-seated'. When the engine is warm, slowly turn each screw in until you hear the highest engine speed. It might only change 10 or 20 rpm, but you should notice a difference. When it is all over, you will probably find the screws between 2 and 2 1/2 turns out, but starting at 3 will make it easier to start.
4. Carb sync. Use gauges to get the vacuum levels of all the carbs to match.

Steve, thank you for your response, i looked high and low for this answer, even on this site. The reason this was confusing is be because when looking up information concerning the adjustments of this carb, there are a lot of references to the air screw. Didn't want to put the air box back on with out knowing. Wish me luck and thank you again
