Louis,
Cool ... now were getting somewhere ... They "are" idle mixture screws
... but of course they pass pilot fuel mixture so I apologize for
confusing the issue ... . I have simply gotten into the habit of
referring to them as pilot mixture screws. Due to their immediate
proximity to the bypass holes ... this is the best way to get some
serious air pressure on the problem. They were probably having a big
laugh when you were blowing at them from the other side of the carb.
Since you haven't had these out before ... I wanted to warn you to
make sure you use a screwdriver with an exact a fit as possible, (what
ever you used on those tiny pilot fuel jets should be fine). Don't
strong arm these guys ... because if you break half of a head off it
will be hell to get the mixture screw out of there ... If you don't
detect an immediate willingness to "move" .. squirt these guys down
with WD40 or some penetrating liquid an let them set overnight. Once
you do have them out you can coat them with silicone grease or any
never-seize lubricant on the threads to keep them from freezing to the
carb body in the future. You can find nice looking little 1/4 inch
poly plastic plugs at the hardware store to cover the hole and that
will protect them from the weather as well as provide easy access for
future touch ups.
This is something you are going to have to do anyhow ... and I think
that, (after getting the other problem taken care of), you will find
that just an extra 1/2 turn on top of what was set by the factory will
make the bike a lot more enjoyable to ride without giving the
emissions station a heart attack. When the bottom end starts going
away in the future, (and it will), you can just pop the screws out and
blow them out again ....... Once your fuel levels are where you want
them ... and assuming you don't ingest trash into the fuel bowl ... it
is unlikely you will have much need to pull the carb stack at all ...
