Dippin carbs question.

[Guest]

Well I searched and could not find the thread where they pointed to the mixture srew and its hidden location. I know it was here, but searches never found it... I know the caps these are under. My question is, though, if I am going to dip the body of the carb do I need to remove this screw? Is there an O-ring on that screw? My manual does not explode that particular fitting.

Assuming we are talking about your bike 400-450ccs 1978-1982...

Your mixture screws are positioned horizontally, pointing directly across to the other carb almost right above the boot where the carb flows to the engine.

This should be it or really close:

All mixture screws have an o-ring. Carb cleaner will harden the o-rings. Remove any rubber or plastic parts before dipping.

I checked my bike and it turns out that I aimed the arrow slightly low. The arrow actually points to the petcock vacuum operation hose nipple, and the mixture screw is right above it.

Thanks. I knew where they were, but was unsure if they needed to come out before a dip. I had to buy a drill...

I did get them out and drilling off the caps was cake .

Thanks for the help!

Sorry. I guess I misunderstood.
