    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Pilot Fuel Screw -- ok or replace?

Thanks for the info. I ordered 4 new ones ($29 with shipping). I will now cross my fingers and double check the passagway. Much appreciated.
 
One of the two look fine. I'd save it, and any others, that look as good.
 
OOPS, too late I already ordered 4 so they will match. I guess I will have 3 good ones for an emergency or for someone here that needs one in the future.

I held each carb up to the light and saw that all 4 have a pinhole of light in the pilot fuel passage. I hope that means there is no remaining shrapnel in there.

Sounds like you got lucky, but to be sure shoot some spray carb cleaner through it and make sure the spray comes out the other side in the same pattern as the other three carbs.
 
Ok thank you, will do! I soaked them all for 24 each and sprayed carb cleaner through everything... but didnt think about checking the spray pattern.
