Title: Carb adjustments....
Post by: HeavyHustler on June 21, 2014, 12:48:23 AM
So I ordered some new carb caps cause I broke one of the nipples off trying to remove the rubber........ :icon_rolleyes:  And since I was ordering from BB I figured I'd get a new set of needles and a couple gaskets for the chain cover.
So when I took the carbs apart I figured I'd check my settings.  I had the jets at 2-1/4 turns out and found 1 and 3 had moved all the way back in.  I also found my floats were out as well.  I am putting everything back as it should be but am wondering how they change????
Cheers,
Mark

Japanese Voodoo  :bad

Check the idle mixture screws to make sure you have the O ring in place and assembled in the right order, i.e. screw - spring - washer - O ring NOT as shown the in the fiche. Invest in a quality 90 deg driver, it's easy to skip if you do it with a stubby, then when you check it with the right tool you notice.

If you want to be sure they're not moving, stick a blob of Blue Tack over the ends.

Thank ST, I was suspicious of the JPN Voodoo!  LOL!

The mixture screws were still in place.......
