Carb bowl jet

Recommended Posts

Trying to diagnose some low end / idle issues with this bike. Going through everything possible. Have a couple of different carb bowls for my stock carbs. For my choke side carb, I have a bowl that has a jet in it that you can actually unscrew and take out. And I have a bowl with a jet in it that you cannot take out. The one with the jet has a larger opening. If I blow compressed air into it, it shoots out pretty strong from the other opening. The other bowl with the jet you cannot take out has a lot smaller of an opening. When I blow compressed air, there is more of a restriction when it blows out of the other hole..but still does blow through. Any difference in using either one?

Sounds like pilot circuit

Dennis has a bunch of pictures on here but none of the pictures are good anymore.

 I'm sure he'll  Chime and soon with pic's 

Iirc only the left carb has the jet.

 But that just usually makes it hard to start, and I guess it couldn't idle well , cause it's  Not rich enough  ,When cold

Does Screwing In your air mixture in and/or out change anything.

Search "will not cold start" theres a few bowl pic's in there

Screwing air mixture screw in usually makes it sound better. Also at half choke it idles a lot stronger and sounds a lot better. Without it choked, idle is very weak.
