    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

O.K.........I decided to give the jets and screws a good cleaning while i had my carbs off. I'm using the carb article for reference. Once i got to this part http://www.thegsresources.com/images/carbs/026_Air screw removed.jpg

I noticed that mine has a plug with a small hole in it where he says to remove the air screw.
Am I missing something?...or am i supposed to remove this plug...wanted to check before i started prying with my crowbar....(ya know how us rednecks are)

Any ideas?????
 
Re: UH OHHHHHHHHH

The airscrew is under the plug. You will need to drill the center of the plug with a small bit to you can thread a screw into the hole to pull the plug out,
The airscrew underneath is brass and soft. Drill very VERY carefully and slowly so you do NOT punch the bit through and into the top of the airscrew. Do not punch the bit through the plug and into the top of the airscrew, do not punch the bit through the plug and into the top of the airscrew, do not punch the bit through the plug and into the top of the airscrew. :-) :-) :-) Clear enough? :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Evidently you are just like 90% of people the world over! Hammers and crowbars are my friends..... :lol:
 
I used a dremel with a drill bit cut down for cutting plexiglass. Worked great and you don't have to worrie about tearing stuff up. I used this method on my Volusia.
 
Redneck Philosophy:

The only implements needed for removal and disassembly are the crowbar, 4lb maul and vice grips.

The only implements needed for repair and restoration are duck tape, bailing wire, and the occaisional WD-40.
 
If it's seized, use force. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyways. :wink:
 
Except it isn't really an air screw, it's a fuel meter screw.
