    pilot screws

    I'm trying to adjust carbs, and I'm wondering what setting I should start with for the pilot screws. I just had them cleaned and installed new pilots, and I don't know where they were at before cleaning them. Any suggestions?

    Best Way To Remove These Kinds of Screws?

    I'm in need of some help... Every carb top on my bike has a screw that looks like this... How the heck do I get those out? I was thinking of drilling it out but then the little voice in my mind said no. Are there bits I could get to remove these? If so, what are they called?

    Help: I managed to strip out the a/f mixture screws on both carbs on the right side of my '96. :bang head: I was attempting to do the shotgun and even after using PB blaster ( overnight), heat and tapping on them to no avail. Since I did the shotgun I have gas pouring out of the front left...

    One of my rubber o-rings from the carb mixture scew assembly snapped on me. I am trying to order it from partforyamaha.com, but there are several o-rings listed and it looks like the only way I can get this particular one is by ordering the entire assembly (screw, spring, washer and o-ring)...

    Is 5 Turns Out On Mixture Screws.......

    ....an excessive amount to you? I dunno but that seems to be the magic number for me. After a carb tear down and float level readjust (to 16mm on the nose!) and a 49-state needle swap this is where my '94 runs best at. All 4 carbs respond to screw turns and I get no hesitation or popping...

    Well, this weekend was quite busy. I got my steering head bearing changed, and my front forks rebuilt with progressives, brake pads changed, new tires put on, as well as working on the carbs. So, that where my problems began. I was performing the shotgun. All of my diaphrams are in good shape...

    Pilot Mixture Screws question

    Ok... So I am trying to follow all the instructions for setting the pilot mixture screws and they all seem pretty straight forward, but I seem to have one problem that somewhat concerns me.

    Now I've done it (mixture screws)

    What's the best way to extract mixture screws? Please don't say "e-z-out" Long story: These things haven't moved in 21 years. I decided that it was time to correct a rich condition and found them seized. I then soaked them in 10-n-1 for two days and started turning. I got no more than 3/4...
