pilot

I got a set of carbs someone had buggered a pilot screw in, and I used a Harbor Freight left-handed drill bit set to remove the pilot screw. When the drill bit caught the brass screw, it unscrewed itself, and saved the carb body. Since partzilla shows this carb body for $649, I was happy to...

I was wondering if anyone has a "spare", (in good shape) pilot, low speed/idle adjustment screw that I could purchase? OEM 12R-14105-00-00. I don't need the spring, washer or rubber seal, just the brass screw. Just one, that's all I need... one lonely screw. (Damn that sounds bad)...

I am quite amazed at the prices for the little rubber plugs in the pilot jet block (called "caps" on the parts breakdown). I'm not going to spend 60-70 bucks on one set up of them (8 ea.) What have owners here used to replace messed up rubber block caps? (pencil erasers, lol?).

so the lady i been hanging with for a while, well, of course I end up diagnosing/researching/fixing her ride, 08 Pilot. Been a good car, but recently sprung a bit of a power steering fluid leak. Thought maybe a bad seal in rack, like my Malibu had. Took a peek under hood, looked at pump, could...

So I have a very modified 2001 Vmax and I am trying to get my carbs right. First when I say modified I mean it has the web cams 80-321's in it, a set of extremely ported and milled heads, vboost is eliminated, a set of Dale Walker 4 into 2 pipes with 6in cans, and individual k&n air filters. Now...

SOLD Up for consideration I have a set of 17" DYMAG 17" wheels with Michelin Pilot Road tires mounted. The tires have about 700 miles on them and that number will creep up the longer they are mounted on my bike. I bought these from Sean Morley at the end of last year and just got around to...

After cleaning my carbs I noticed that one of the pilot screw is missing the Oring and washer. Made sure it is not in carb. It's most likely that this occurred when I cleaned the carbs last year. With the oring and washer missing, would that show a slight leaner plug reading? I have the...

My 1998 Vmax is getting a little old and I'm cleaning out the carbs. Need to replace the old o'rings on my pilot screws. Anyone know of a source for just the o'rings? What size are mine from this chart? O-RINGS and U-RINGS Mikuni and Keihin MIKUNI O-Ring description Size inside...

Does anyone know where this screw goes on the carbs. Also, how far to I back out the pilot screw initially after a carb cleaing? Thanks, Bill

Ok looking to change the fuel jet, stock is 37.5 up here in Canada, which has 0.0145 inch hole, the jet in the aluminium block under the float not the PAJ 1 UNDER AIRBOX, checked with dealer for avaiable sizes STOCK 37.5 , FOLLOWED BY 40.5 THEN COMES 45, Wondering if anyone has played with the...

A good friend of mine made his final flight yesterday. Emotional time, as you can imagine saying goodbye to the aircraft he loves. We had his wife bring him into the parking spot, with one of their 6 children standing in front of her. There have been a few "lasts" in his 22-year career, and his...

I thought I was going crazy...couldn't find the screw...so I checked Naughty G's strip down pdf...there it was...where it should be...so I relooked at my carbies......just a solid brass slug.....??????????

I did not know what these were until I got a manual. The manual says they are preset. Does this mean that they should be screwed all the way in. I note that attempting to "adjust" them gives variable results but the left front carb sends the rpms through the roof when I close it completely...

Put in the Morley stage 7 jet kit and marks custom 4 to 2 exhaust over the winter. The bike has run great. It does run a little rich so I backed the clip off the fuel needle one notch. Helped out a little. Ran the bike for 2 months and felt fine. Just ran it the day for 150 miles and the last 20...

First, my pilot fuel jets are marked 40 whereas I think stock size is like 37.5? Any reason why the PO would have put a larger one in and should I bother going back to stock or can I just screw in my A/F screws a bit to compensate? Secondly, how much of a difference does half a clip on a...

Too sad, i don't remember.. Pilot fuel jets are not MKD series like Main jets, right? If i am right, what are they?

Anyone know the size of the pilot jet screw? I need to clean out some threads and don't have a clue what size tap I need to buy to re-thread the pilot jet screw hole. Thanks, Bill USN Retired

Does anyone know the size of the threads on the pilot jet screw? I had to "easy out" one on a bike I bought and the threads seem to be buggered up a little as the replacement needle jet does not screw in as far as it should. I would like to buy a tap and clean the threads out but I am not sure...

I have a 2003 VMAX and just cleaned the CARBs. I noticed that all four pilot screws were screwed all the way in. When I looked at the service manual it said they were "Preset". I thought that it was odd that they would all 4 be "preset" to all the way in, I am used to them being backed out 1-3...

I have started rebuilding the carbs on my 85 vmax as the bike was sitting 9 years before I bought it. On the first carb I have disassembled. The pilot jet appears to have been soldered closed (?). I'm able to look down inside all of the passage ways with a high end (aka expensive) micro scope at...
