    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

quick!!!

i can't get pilot jet out. unscrewed it but it will not come out someone please let me know what to do. i want to get atleast one carb done tonight
 
Spray carb cleaner in it and let it sit. It should come out. Also spray carb cleaner into the main jet and block where the needle jet enters and that might force it out.
 
thank you chef i finally decided to take a straight poker and pound in a little and pull it out. but there was no oring on it?

The o-ring is probably still down in the bore. As they age they often stay behind when the needle comes out.
 
well if it is it is in the dip now. i will have to try and pull it out when i get out of the dip
 
Were you referring to the fuel mixture screw? The pilot jet doesn't have an o-ring.
 
no i was refering to pilot jet i thought it did but i got #2 taken apart and it didn't either so figured it didn't
 
ok so i got #1&2 carbs taken apart and no guidance line on #2 and also no washer or oring on either air mixture screw

That would account for some of the issues that you are having. Keep digging, you may be surprised at what you find. :-D
 
i am looking and i think on bike bandit #68 is air screw but not sure how would i get the washer for it?
 
The washer and o-ring is still in the carb. Take a look with a flashlight. I've had many stick in there.
 
nope they're not in the carbs still
