    help! removing cross threaded screw

    Hi, I was switching pulling my carbs to change rubbers and shim my needles, while doing this i managed to cross thread the 10mm bolt that holds the fuelpump. It's now stuck and when i'm trying to remove it, it's only spinning around. I tried lots of WD-40 and "CRC penetrating Oil + MoS"...

    Pilot Jet Screw THread Size

    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...

    Idle Screw Settings

    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...

    Idle Screw Settings

    I have a 2003 VMAX. When I cleaned the carbs I noticed that all 4 idle screws were in all the way. The Service manual says "they are preset". What is the initial setting for them before fine tuning?

    Stuck Idle mix screw

    How difficult is it to fix this if the screw head has been damaged? I was having some issues with my carbs popping and a real slight idle backfire. Went to do a peashooter and screwed up the mix screws on the right 2 carbs when going to back them out 2 turns. I stopped jacking with the screws...

    I just put back the wheels and I end up with an extra screw which looks like coming from the bike. Any idea where that allen screw comes from? Tnx Michael Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

    A/F Screw

Any ideas about how to fix that? I was thinking of pulling the carbs this winter and cleaning them all up...maybe even...

    Idle Mixture Screw Stuck

    Hi all, started doing the "shotgun" and got to my final carb and the idle mixture screw stuck. It will not turn and I started to bugger the head. It's not totally effed, but with the soft metal I stopped. Has anyone had this trouble before? What to do to solve it? And finally, where can I get...

    Pilot screw missing, damage?

    Hello, I was adjusting the pilots crews for VMax, today I found that one of the screw was missing from carburetor, what kind of damage can this cause? If pilot screw is missing is it running lean or rich? /Jonas

    A/F Pilot needle Screw Adjustment

    Looked but could not find a How To Adjust A/F pilot screw. Does anyone know where in the tech area or how to area I could find a pictorial and verbage on how to adjust it. Got a new one installed in carb 3 and would like to adjust it properly for idle mixture. Thanks.

    Cleaning a/f screw and spring

    Hey all, I am in the middle of doing the shotgun on the carbs. What does everyone use to clean up the a/f screw and spring? Mine has the white chalky looking buildup on it. Also, how can you tell if the end of the screw is damaged from being bottomed out too hard? Thanks.

    A/F screw adjustment question

    Hey all, I am trying to get the bike dialed in as good as possible. When setting the a/f screws does anyone ever hook up the carb sync to watch each cylinder? Reason I ask is that I don't notice a whole lot of difference once I start untightening the set screw on the a/f. I can tell when it's...

    Unresponsive A/F mixture adjustments

    I thought I read once a post or a thread, but I can't, for the life of me, find it. I know if you tighten the mixture screws down until lightly sitted, the bike should start stumbling. What would it mean if none of my mixture screws have this effect and how do you fix it?
