    Thank you. Honestly I'm over these carbs. Who ever had them before me screwed up big time. I'm realizing now that most of the jets aren't screwing in as deep as they should. Whoever drilled this stuff out and/or cross threaded this is an idiot. Where can i find Carb bodys

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

              Wait!! I missed the part about "what rubber plugs?" There are rubber plugs that go in the holes that the pilot jet scews go in. They block off the jets from directly sucking raw fuel straight from the bowls instead of thru the carbs passages designed for this. That for sure will cause a SERIOUS flooding of the cylinders and just may be a HUGE HUGE part of your problem!!! Please note part 39...PLUG.

                Are you kidding me!!! So the jet right above or below main is what where talking about? Which is the pilot jet? I just retapped them and definitely just saved me some money. There was the old jets still in there so they wouldn't tighten. But wow I'm almost positive there's no rubber o-ring...wait or are you saying there's a plug that fits over the jet where you unscrew it? Damn if that's all it was this whole time...

                  On CV carbs you have the big MAIN jet in the center and another hole off to the side that the pilot jet goes in and you tighten the jet down inside the hole..then it gets that plug. If you look at the bowl youll see a raised area that presses against the plug to keep it from falling out. Wish i had a set to take a picture of to post for you...Hows this..the BIG hole in the center is the needle jet and the main jet. The main jet screws into the needle jet..the smaller offset hole is the pilot jet hole and thats where the plug goes to cap off the hole..follow me?

                    The hole you took those 4 mismatched jets out of is supposed to be plugged with those plugs...

                        I was just reviewing your posts and i almost missed that question you asked..glad it got my eye. Many year bikes with cv carbs use them so they areny year model specific and they are all exactly the same part..heck even the Honda CVs use the same setup..they are cheap so its not a big deal. Post up a pic with you pointing at the hole with a pencil point and i will tell you if we are on the same page.

                          Look at the bowl and youll see a raised up peak coming up from the bottom of the bowl with a flat round top to it. Now hold the bowl up to the body and notice that flat raised area lines up perfectly with the pilot jet holes.

                            Get the plugs and pull the spark plugs and either clean them really good or get new ones. recheck all the float heights per the manual while the bottom ends are open. Be sure you have the right pilot jets in all 4 bodies... put them back on the bike and I would be willing to bet its a vastly different machine.
