    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.

do the pilot air screw and the pilot fuel screw have the same springs or are they different ..... not sure if i lost springs or if they where never there i checked the carb bodies to see if they where in the holes where these 2 different pilot screws go and i can't find them
 
They are slightly different.

Cant' tell you for sure right now which one is which, but one is a bit wider (I'm guessing the air screw spring).

Take a wire and bend it at the end..just enough to grip . Then insert it in the holes and see if you drag any springs out.

Use a drywall screw, give it about 1/8 turn, does the same thing. :D

Works great for the mixture screws on the CV-type carbs to get the spring, washer and o-ring out.

Since we're on the subject of fuel screws,what's the setting for them? I don't understand they're function after the pilot (slow) jet.

Well, a lot of that would depend on the bike.

Would this be for the bike that is listed in your signature? :-\\\

i havent had any luck findin just a fuel pilot screw spring. and i was also wondering what would be a good baseline to start with on my 77gs750 stock intake 4into1 kerker megaphone backed tight can't put mine back together with out the spring i need for the fuel pilot
 
Take a pen spring and cut it to the same length as the OEM one...done. As for baseline settings.. PILOT screw ( bottom one ) out 1 turn from gently seated. MIXTURE screw ( side one ) 2 turns out from gently seated.
