Everything but the pilot/slow speed screw is supposed to be screwed in until "seated," if I'm not mistaken. Your main needle jet/emulsion tube (the big one) DEFINITELY is a "tighten until seated" as it isn't an adjustable jet. Anything else that was installed in the fuel bowl is that way too, I think.
Pilot screws are three turns out? I haven't done bike carbs before now, so I'm not sure. Most of the VW carbs I did were 4 turns (really fine threads) or 2 turns (not so fine threads, newer carbs). -Kurt On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 9:28 PM, JJ <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Allen.
