macgillivary Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hey you know those air mixture screws on your carbs I got mine set at 1 and a half turns just curious what exactly they do mine have fallen out before but it didnt seem like the bike was running bad or anything, just replaced them and was set to go again so what happens if you turn them tighter or looser? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9603banshee Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 turning them in richens your air/ fuel mixture with more fuel.....turning them out leans your air/ fuel mixture with more air.....your's is probably fine at 1 1/2 turns out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 It is an air screw that fine tunes the pilot jet. The pilot jet is used from 0 to about 1/4 throttle postition.
