2strokinit Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 so i was reading alot of posts before asking this and couldnt find what i was looking for... do stock carbs come with air screws? and is the lock nut on the screw supposed to come off if i unscrew all the way?or is it supposed to stay in place on the carb? the reason i ask..is that last week when i went riding around my house for about and hour...it took about 6 or 7 kicks to start vs. the 2 it usually does...but it wouldnt idle with out a tab bit of pressure on the throttle..while riding as soon as i let off the throttle it would want to bog out..after walking a couple wheelies..it all of a sudden would run and idle perfect? go to start it today and it took even longer to start...i adjusted the air screws and got it started and then while running it bogged completely out and wouldnt start back up until i messed with the screws again..and it started and bogged again...i'm curious as to where my screws should be set? is it possible i need to clean my carbs out? my mods are t-5's,.vf reeds,pro flow adapter with air box lid removed...i do have a boost bottle(i dont want to hear it!)and i'm not sure whats in my carbs..never had them off..i'm really not sure about my tors...it might be removed?whats somevisuals that would confirm that? thanks for all your help guys..if it wasnt for you and this site i'd be lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastrthnu Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 [the air screw is the one thats almost flush with the carb on the rear left rear as in toward the air box. It sounds like your refering to the idle screw for a tors eliminator kit which is in the left side of the left carb and the right side of the right carb. the air screws are on the left of both. The idle screw moved the slide inside up and down. the air screw adds or takes away air to your idle mixture. The onle with the locknut is your idle screw. You adjust you air screws rich by turning them in and lean out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
