Pull/pry it out/off. No...no jet is pressed in that I'm aware of.

the guy at the suzuki shop told me i wouldn't be able to take it off and thats pressed in.... idk i just want to clean the carb out really good

[Dave8338]

Are you talking about the plug that covers the adjustment screw, or the jet itself?

[rmathew313]

the jet itself

@ rmathew....can you snap off a quick pic of the jet you are referring to. I just finished a complete tear down and rebuild of what sounds like the same carb. I can tell you what does/doesn't come out .

hey man sorry i already assembled the carb together... i was able to get the main jet and pilot jet out... not the needle for the main though... i just left it in there... and i was able to get the mixture screw out as well just kept turing it.. and gave the carb body a few hits with the palm and it came out

No worries bro... good to hear that you got as far as you did. Now throw that thing back on the bike and fire it up.
