Author Message   M2marc Posted on Sunday, June 26, 2011 - 11:15 am:        How are you supposed to adjust the air/fuel mixture screw without taking the carb off ?   Buell_bert Posted on Sunday, June 26, 2011 - 01:03 pm:        You can get a screw driver in there but not burning your hands is the larger problem. They also make a a/f screw that is a knurled nut also if that would help. Good luck.   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, June 26, 2011 - 09:15 pm:        If you have a screwdriver where you can change the tips, pull the shaft and reverse it in the handle and have more tips...you can use that. At least, I have. Of course, this all assumes that you've drilled out the cap that covers the screw to begin with.   4traxx Posted on Sunday, June 26, 2011 - 09:47 pm:        I turned mine when I did the jetting . Never felt the need after that initial setting . Did you rejet it yet ?   M2marc Posted on Monday, June 27, 2011 - 02:20 pm:        I have not re-jetted yet, but i've been getting some lean surges around 60mph. I drilled the plug and started with 2 1/2 out from lightly seated. On my last bike I adjusted the a/f mixture screw while it was running so you can hear the rpms drop and adjust from there. I hav'nt found a reasonably priced manual yet so Thanx for the help.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, June 27, 2011 - 10:59 pm:        The manuals are a steal even at full price. They are literally "take it apart to a bare frame and rebuild it completely" bibles. Even stock bikes seem to like 45 slow jets; my tubers with the full race kits enjoy life with a 48.   M2marc Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 09:48 am:        isnt the slow jet for idle and 1/8 throttle? any rpms over that the main takes over.   Buellistic Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 11:40 am:        KEIHIN CARBURETOR Class 101, just PM me if you want a copy ...   Blake Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 06:37 pm:        >>> any rpms over that the main takes over. The needle jet handles mid throttle opening; the main jet governs larger throttle openings.   M2marc Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 09:23 am:        Thanks for all the replies. I sent LaFayette a pm.   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 03:42 pm:        Motion Pro sells a "Pilot screw adjusting tool" (a 'bent' special screwdriver) that will work, even though it's a bit cumbersome, for $25. They also have a 90° hex-driver that has screwdriver bits. This usually costs around a $100, but on sale right now for about $57. This is the one used by Terry Parsley on my M2 during it's first dyno test.   Blake Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 - 05:21 pm:        Good info at... http://www.gadgetjq.com/keihin_carb.htm
