    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.

Other than the fact that fuel screws are still available from other sources, I didn't see anything wrong, either, but I am not an expert on the VM carbs.

Nice pictures, though. :encouragement:

I disagree with his range for setting them AND him calling them mixture screws. They are PILOT screws. From my long experience with VMs its set the Pilot Screws at 7/8 out from gently seated and forget they exist.. hands off
 
Thank you for taking the time to comment guys. I like anything that furthers my knowledge. As for the names of components, I guess that is why I really like pictures, no danger of confusing what is being talked about. The range setting debate is interesting. Anything between 5/8ths and 1 and 1/2 turns crops up. I would happily follow the guidance of 7/8ths. makes a lot of sense.:)
 
Some may know that here at Centurion HQ we supply the unobtainable OEM Fuel Mixture Screw for the Mikuni VM range of carburetors

( NO, other companies make this screw).

This Fuel Mixture Screw

(NO. it's a Pilot fuel screw) not to be confused with the air adjustment screw

(Pilot Air screw) is located to the front of the carburetor float bowl and on the underside. (Poorly written, the Pilot Fuel screw is underneath in the front, the Pilot Air is on the side)

Starting off an informational post with bad information leads me to discredit whatever else the poster has to say. I know he's blowing his own horn, but he needs to have his information correct

It reminds me of working Hurricane Wilma, I had to have an structural engineer out to inspect a large building that had been hit by a tornado. His analysis was OK, but his diagram was 90 degrees off (the N arrow pointed west). I emailed him about it and he claimed he didn't have a compass during his inspection and that it didn't matter. I pointed out that I 95 was less than a block away, was elevated and made enough noise that it was difficult to hear speech, but that didn't impress him. I had my boss call his boss and get it corrected. Want to have your credentials discredited in court? Be 90 degrees off
