    My CV's don't match CV writeup @ pilot

    I'm thinking the tube going across on my CV contains the pilot (appears to be a cap with a hole in the center?) but since that is not what the write up shows I'm checking here...

    Ignore the blue on the carb mouth. I set them on a sheet of foam not thinking and the gas had melted it in that small spot. It's nothing a PO did.

        Hi,

        Did you see the write-up specific to GS450 carbs?

          just to be clear, b/c i can only drill once. The arrow on the pic i just made is where i need to drill, and that is the cap? Each has a tiny hole so i may not have to drill.

              That's OK. There is still a lot of information in both CV write-ups that is good to know while working on your carbs.

              Yes, the idle mixture (pilot) screw is under that cap.

                Stick a fork in it and pull it out.....

                or better yet...

                put a drywall screw in it or something similar and pull it out....

                  You may have to use a pilot drill to get the drywall screw in there, but be careful. That aluminum plug is only about 3mm thick and there is only about 3mm of room behind it before you hit the mixture screw.

                    I drilled the caps and got them out NP, but there is another issue. The pilot screws back almost all the way out then just spin and do not finish coming out, this is on both carbs. I tried pb blaster, tried a dental pic incase dirt was stopping it, tried a wire brush, nadda.

                      Open the hole up a bit at the end with a drill bit.
                      Don't touch the threads.

                          Cleaned up the tube, not the issue.

                          chuck hahn said its the oring sticking. He told me to heat the tube, then while fresh hot get some pb in there and work the jet back and forth to lube the oring and back it out.

                          that didn't work either.

                            tossed #1 in the freezer. See if contracting the metal helps me out
