| Alright beet, come school me - carbs for dummies
Don't be afraid to take out the pilot jet. It is pretty much the smallest orifice in the carb, and usually the first one to clog. Look at it with an eye loupe or magnifying glass. You can clean it with a strand or 2 of copper speaker wire, that won't damage the brass. Also, since you are in there, you can check to see if your carb has a small snap-on screen on the back side of your fuel needle valve seat. I'm talking about the seat for the needle, that the float operates. On my RS38 Mikunis these little screens got fuzzed up with dried fuel and I just took them out. |
