pilot screw adjust

[sim_n_o@yahoo.com]

Hey Guys, I got my carb rotated to do the drilling of the plug on the pilot screw but it might have been drilled already. Is the screw located inside of a projection that hangs down a bit lower that the rest of the bowl. Its toward the front. It appears that there may have been something blockiing the brass screw that I can see up inside the part described above. I also see a small brass collored dot futher forward and more proximal to the forward gasket area. If there is a pic somewhere it would be helpful but all I'v found is the parts diagram which doesn't show the under side of the carb. Thanks All! Joe S.

This will give you the pictures you need but it sounds like you've got it. Just turn it gently to the right to seat it and then back it out 2 1/2 turns... http://members.aol.com/roundr1/CVK40.html -----Original Message----- From: sim_n_o@...

Thanks A Bunch Kurt! I just got back from a test ride and saw your post. When all else failes...Experiment. It worked beautifully. Throttle response is much smoother, Gear changed aren't quite as tricky. Everything that you guys said is right on! Even the cooler running. Thanks again! I LOVE THIS LIST! P.S. I don't know why I'm so resistant to playing around with this bike mechanically. I'm really pretty good with a wrench. I guess it just takes time to build a certain level of confidence. Bare with me I'm trying to get rid of this newbiness!
