blind_in_1_ear 0 Posted June 5, 2009 good advice all of you....so i'd have a flattened, "lightened", pressed carb?? I'm in!! i "think" i could, if pressed, do it myself(*drilling the fuel screw plug out is my biggest worry..) getting the carb OFF the bike seems like the stress of it all...then into the guts...blue needle, 25 pilot,140, 4th clip, 2.5 turns out on the fuel screw... i printed out a nice 22(*printed accidently on purpose...) page doc about it...should be "ok"...always nervous nellie about change... i mean,....errrr..... changing things...esp since she's running pretty smooth(*jinx?) right now. Blind ..with the peanut gallery/brain trust there i should be ok....right about then superman(*aka bikeslut) comes in for the last minute heroics!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted June 5, 2009 (*drilling the fuel screw plug out is my biggest worry..) That's easy. It's just a thin aluminum plug. Use a drill bit that takes up a good amount of surface area of the diameter of the plug and have a wood screw about the right size. Drill hole, takes a few seconds. Insert screw till it has a good bite, then take a pair of pliers and yank the screw and plug out. That's all there is to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check those jetting specs one more time. You may be looking at jetting for a DJ kit. The JD kit requires a larger main jet IIRC 155 (check to make sure, also mod dependent). 22.5 is stock the 25 should come in the kit. Are you going to put in an extended fuel screw? The JD kit also requires the 3X3 hole on the top of the airbox. Nothing to worry about... cannot really do major damage. just cover up the intake port when carb is out and make sure the carb is properly seated and clamped when done. something that may help: vice grips will help remove the float bowl screws after you strip at least one of the heads off.

PastaPilot 17 Posted June 5, 2009 Speaking of Hammer today. I heard through the grapevine that you're planning to crash another SDAR function. I'd rather you didn't show up. If you do I will ask you to leave. This event is open to all current SDAR members. Newbs awaiting validation are welcome to stop by and introduce yourselves. I ask anybody else thinking of posting their own thoughts on this subject to refrain. This post can be the beginning and end of it. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted June 5, 2009 This was brought up in a PM. I have a good amount of work to do on my bike and I'll likely be in the garage spinning wrenches and cussing around 11 AM. I am thinking the food will be hitting the grill around 2 and wrapping up the day by 5ish. We do have another party to get to in PB at 6. Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
