There is no spoon.

?? I'm assuming you're patronizing me inferring 'spoon feeding' but I am trying to get specific information for something I [obviously] am not as informed as the veteran users on here.

I'm trying to get this information so that I can check them tomorrow and report back. If that's not going to happen I will just have to take the carbs off again and report back, in hopes someone else will respond with relevant information.

Thanks for your time.

This should have pics to tell you which jet is which.

The main and the pilot are the ones you are concerned with.

there are size numbers on the jets.

Oh ok, so it's the one inside the float bowl and the one next to that one, but underneath a rubber cap.

I'll try and get the information for you tomorrow as, unfortunately I don't have a garage of my own, and it's dark outside.

I can take the float bowls off but I'm not quite sure how I'll get a screwdriver up and under there to take them out, but I'll figure that out tomorrow or in the coming days.

The main jet is easy to reach, the pilot jet may be harder, but you may be able to leave the piot jet as is. Get the main jet right first and see how it runs.

I have some pictures from when I had taken the carbs off and cleaned it a bit.

Are you able to extract the information you're requesting from me from these?

Can't make anything out. It would be a stamped number on the flat surface of the jet. That's the main jet though. The pilot jet is under that rubber plug.

Here's another set, with one additional picture:

Not sure if it'll help.

I'll check as soon as I get a chance to take it apart

[tkent02]

I can't see the numbers, but I don't see Mikuni's little square symbol either. Maybe some aftermarket jets? Dunno.

So where do I get new ones for around 2 bucks a piece?

[tkent02]

Still Z-1.

Just order Mikuni jets from Z-1, they are only $2 ea so get a range of them from one step bigger than stock jets to about three.

I already looked there and didn't find any jets of any kind.

EDIT: nevermind,I HAD to look by "category" not model specific

So where do you think I should start side it may not have labels? I'm still going to try and look sometime tomorrow or so

[tkent02]

Call them, they have them.
You will need to know the sizes you need.

Well I started to take the bowls off but then realized what about all of the gas going to just flow out?

I took the tank off and started looking for adjustments and I know they're beneath a cap, I found that cap where the adjustment screw is at - do you think it's worth adjusting?

[Chuck78]

The gas should stop flowing with the engine off, just a little will run out of the hose if the vacuum petcock (shutoff valve) is operating properly. You will lose the fuel in the fuel bowls of tge carb, so have a rag handy or drain them from the drain screw before removing.

Maybe you should read one of the cv/bs carb rebuild guides before you tear into it, to familiarize yourself with the carbs. A cycleorings.com kit is always a great idea, by the way. so is dipping the xarbs & installing new intake boot o-rings (the real big ones against the cylinder head).
