    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.

Do these have to be drilled out or can they be pryed up? Just looking for any heads up so I don't destroy the carbs. Thanks
 
They'll need to be drilled out. Just go very slowly and as soon as you break through, pull up on the drill. Then you can insert a screw and pull the plugs out.
 
They have to be drilled out, BE VERY CAREFULL you only need to drill about 1/4" or less Usually they will come out while drilling them. If not thread a small screw into the drilled hole and pull it out
 
if you are refering to these

Good point. The pilot jet is covered by a rubber cap next to the main jet within the fuel bowl.
 
Keep the pilot, leave the jet??

Keep the pilot, leave the jet??

I think they're also called 'air pilot screws' or 'pilot air screws' in the manuals.
