    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.

Removing Air Screw

Today I was disassembling my carbs to start dipping, and I ran into a problem when I went to remove the air screw. Instead of a flathead to unscrew, there is a disc with a hole the size of a paper clip. Do I need to pry this off? Thanks.
 
It has to be removed to make adjustments. And should be to dip. I used a small drill bit to start the hole. Then turned a screw in a little ways and pull the cap off. The air screw is directly below it so make sure to be careful not to damage it when removing the cover.
 
Thanks, wasn't sure if how to get it out. Does it need to be replaced when reassembing?
 
You can leave the cap off. It was only put on there to stop you fiddling with it in the first place (shame on you - you're gonna pollute the world...:D).

By the way - that screw is more usually called the mixture screw.

Sounds like you skipped reading the Carb Cleanup Series, where this and many other mysteries are explained in great detail.

For shame, for shame... :mad:

Nope, was following it step by step. But slide 25, the one in question, only shows going in with a screwdriver. Then the screw is magically removed in 26 without any mention to the little cap. I used the drill then insert screw and wiggle out method and it worked like a charm.
