    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.

Are these the caps i need to remove to get to the screws to lean out my carbs? I looked on top for them but these are the only ones i seen.

Nope. That's just a cap that goes over the end of the shaft for the throttle plates. The ones you are looking for should be directly above that point on the top side of the carb.
 
just went out and looked at my carbs again. there is nothing on the top nor the bottom that resembles whats in the pic. the only other thing i found is right above what i was pointing at. these carbs are weird. i tried to follow the carb cleaning series but my carbs are just different. both my jets are actually located in my float bowl.lol i have a weird one.
 
What bike are these on, or if you know what model carbs are these?
 
How about right behind the vacuum line on the side of the carb in your picture? Does that look like a capped off jet by any chance? Pull the vacuum line and give us a picture of that.
 
Looks like it could possibly be behind the plug with the small hole in it. Is there a plug like that on the opposite carb?
 
yeah . these things are in a league of their own lol. thanks for your help guys.
 
That IS where they are. You'll have to remove that plug, easy enough, simply run a drywall screw into that hole, you may have to drill a little bit bigger pilot hole. Carefully sink the screw in a few threads till it bites and wont simply pull out, but dont go so deep you hit the adjustment screw under the plug. Its roughly a 1/4inch or so thick, that plug, so you have a little breathing room. You'll have to likely wiggle and turn and jimmy on the screw, but it will come out eventually. Those plugs were put in there by the factory to keep people like us from tampering with them....LOL
 
well they need to quit putting stuff like that on the carbs. me being a beginner at this just makes it al that more confusing lol.
