    What did you find in your carbs today?

    IMG_4740[1].jpg

    That's a notch from a single edge razor blade for reference.
    This broken pilot fuel screw was jammed in the body of my RS36 #1 carb... with a good screw installed !
    When I couldn't get carb cleaner to flow through the hole... compressed air popped it up into the carb bore. ( see next pic)
    1980 GS1000G - The Beast - GOING... GOING... yup, it's gone. I'm bikeless !!! GAaaahh !!!
    1978 KZ1000C1 Police - GONE !
    1983 GPZ750, aka ZX750A1 - restored, fresh paint... Gave it back, it was a loaner !!!
    Check My Albums for some of the 30+ headaches I've dealt with

    I know -JUST- enough to make me REALLY dangerous !

    Again, the screw in that hole was NOT missing the tip ! ( I've dealt with broken tips jammed in BS carbs before )

    I've found dirt, bugs, main jets floating in my bowls, but someone installed a good screw into a blocked hole? -AND- didn't destroy the good screw... This is a 1st for me.

      A few years back ,I got a carb rack from a florida guy... Little tiny spiders had taken up residence in the carb diaphragm
      area. It was january, so I put carbs out side so the spiders could enjoy a Maine winter.
