carburetor blues

[Goetz]

nope, none of them stick out far enough to pull on without crushing them. what does this jet do anyways?

I would need to go look.PDF or owners manual.You could drill them out what do you have to lose.Or send them to Randy.Can you see if theres a brass restrictor down inside ?.

Or can you press them in they may have worked themselves out somehow.

Yeah, they narrow down to a tiny, tiny hole. I dont think there is a problem with them where they are, really. Wont know untill i cang get the carbs back to a stock config and see how she runs.

Dynojet (Stage 3), uses a "main air corrector" - figure C.  it's probably glued in if they followed the instructions

... figures. So, how about trying... maybe some sort of screw and pliers?

I love waiting for parts, lets me get other things done, like bleeding the brakes and clutch. My clutch fluid looked like grey death. got it mostly clear, but im afraid it needs a rebuild. Probably ran 6 ounces of fluid trough it and still bubbles and murk coming up.
