Dennis:

I have always been of the oppinion that if you give a man a fish he
eats for a day, if you teach a man to catch fish he eats for life.
Dont change a thing.  I want to know WHY something doesn't work. I
have learned more about carburators in the last year from you then I
learned in the last 20 years on my own taking them appart. This is in
fact how this string got started!!!.... I determined from what I
learned from you last year that my engine wanted more fuel and tossed
it out to the group to validate my deductions!!

I am not sure if we got to the bottom of the slow jet size question,
but 20 years ago I worked night shift in a CNC milling/machine shop as
a second job. I may be rusty but I have a little expierence reading a
micrometer.   I think you were correct last year when you indicated
the #35 slow jet is 0.011" not four times larger at 0.050" .

Move the decimal if you want but I think its in the correct place
since my mic readings are consitent with the labeling on the wire
packages. I can pass a 0.013 wire but not a 0.015 through a #38 Keihin
slow jet. So since a #35 is smaller I am deducting the size is closer
to the 0.011 then it is to something over 4 times larger at 0.050. If
my decimal location is wrong then we are talking about something 10
times smaller in diammeter then 12 # fishing line and that an
extremely small hole to try and push fuel through.

By the way the bigger slow jets seemed to be working better, I will
know more once I get the front end aligned and can test ride it.

For those that read this far.. I saw a 700 out side a tire store in Ft
Pierce on Tuesday and stopped and talked to the owner Carl.  He
apparently has a complete parts bike if you need parts and cant find
them on E-bay. His number is 772-337-5262

Glen..
