Float bowl screws are not junk!

dobent4

By dobent4

The float bowl screws that have caused so many of us gnashing of the teeth are in fact not junk. The problem is we aren't using the right screwdriver! :busted:

What to use is a J.I.S.(Japanese Industrial Standard) no.#1 phillips, which is a lot different than one of our number 1's. It doesn't matter if it's a Snap On, etc., if it's not a J.I.S. no.#1 it's the wrong screwdriver. :prof:

They are available at lots of places, I found mine at a hobby shop that had them listed in their catalogs and had several J.I.S. sizes,including the no.#1.

      How to Confirm Your Pilot Circuit Setting
      By Wayward Son
      It seems like the most common jetting issue that comes up are pilot circuit related.  The following is a sure method to choose the needed changes.
      With the bike warm and idling, turn the fuel screw in till the idle drops/misses.then go back out till the idle peaks/smooths. This should happen between 1 and 2.5 turns on a fcr carb and 1 and 3 turns on a CV.
      If you end up at less than 1 turn, you need a bigger pilot jet. More than 2.5 (or 3 turns on a CV), you need a smaller pilot jet.
      Choose the appropriate size and retest.
