Carb servicing time! - Success!!!!!!!

[the_Journeyman]

Yea, I learned a whole lot about carbs this week.  I also learned that once I get used to the method, I can have the airbox removed in short order.  I've learned where all of the screws that affect how the carbs operate are and how to used them.  I'm still a little pissed at the previous owner for stripping the head on the front carb idle screw.

Rise from the dead!

I recently disassembled my carbs because of this thread and found that the PO installed a jet kit. What seems odd though is that the needles are set at two different heights (3rd slot and 4th slot from bottom)

Is this normal or should they both be set in the same slot?

Also, the float bowl screws got trashed as I though I would be installing a jet kit. Now that I don't need to, I can just replace these screws. Anyone have the size offhand?

Typically the needles are set the same. A tuner might have raised the vertical cyl a notch.

The screws almost always get trashed. Factory Pro includes screws in their kit. They are available at most hardware stores, or auto parts stores. 3 or 4mm.
