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?

I'm trying to get my carbs out so I can give them a good chem dip. I found that the screws on the top are stripped out and my channel locks can't get them out because of the way they're positioned. How the heck am i supposed to get these dang things out? they are the ones on the top, I got...

Are the serews air bleed or Mixture , Sorry for maby a silly question . But is turning them in leaner and ouit rucher. Thanks :punk:

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?

Ok, so I'm working my way through shotgun'ing my carbs, I'm only to the point where I seat the mixture screws, then back them out. Here's my problem, I started with cylinder 4? (right side rear), seated the screw, noting the number of turns, then began to back it out. It came out about 2 turns...

OK so with my carbs on/off/on/off/on/off/on/off/on, in this fun tuning time of my life, the screws are starting to get buggered. mostly on the clamps holding the boots to the carbs/intake manifolds, but one of the screws holding on the airbox boots is too... now i ordered some new clamps, but...

Looking for some help with these screw sizes. I had to drill out one of my reservoir cap screws so I need some new ones. The metric ones I found at the hardware store I think were 8/32 and looked right, but are a bit too large. Does anyone who has replaced these remember what size they are...

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)...

....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...

Anybody know what size these are? I'm guessing M8

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...

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. When I turn each mixture screw in until the engine starts to stutter, the screws are almost all the way...

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...

thinking about how we have to sync our bikes up so much. would loctite help us keep dialed in or is it more a valve issue?

new max owner 06..very impressed with the bike not so much the power but how it handles and rides and the smoothness..still in breaking period,,,can i open the air fuel mixture screws to help with startups and soften the low rpm stumble and pooping through air box.....will opening up this...

Hi guys, Been gone for awhile, wife is nine months pregnant and had me working like a dog on the house before the baby comes. Here what's up, rebuilt my carbs end of June, ran good. Let the bike sit for 2-3 weeks, took it for a little ride and it wouldn't run right unless the choke was on...

Hey all, looking to replace all 16 carb cover screws with either similar to stock, torx, hex, etc. & quite possibly in stainless. Is the correct size going to be 12mm x .5 or something different? Lastly, what is a good web site to go to that would sell these in small qty. and at a good price?

recently acquired an '86 Vmax, decided to rejet it (stage 1 dynomax) and all that jazz before i start riding it, not looking for any performance gains, im sure it has plenty of power, just to make sure everything is happy and running right. anyway, got to adjusting the mixture screws, and the...

Are these all the same size..does anyone know the specs off hand?
