putting carb back together
I cleaned a carb from a 1980 GS550E (carb mik bs32ss (4 seprate carbs). I cleaned the pilot jets and need to know how far the pilot jets needs to be backed out after they buttom out. I ran it in all the way and am having problems keeping the bike running.Did I screw up (which means pulling the carbs again) Thanks in advance for help.Tags: None

I hope you didn't bottom the pilot screw out to much as you could damage the end of the screw as it is a needle . the approx setting is 2-2.5 turns off the bottom ,that should get it running and holding idle. If you think U turned them down to hard take them out and check for damage groving or bent or even broken off of the tip of the screw.

isn't the pilot jet behind the rubber plug. so I need to back it out 1.5 turns? I read some other threads that said all jets should be snug?????
