Title: (SOLVED) Mainjet won't go in? Post by RobSchneider on 05/03/13 at 15:19:50 Because I had my jet a little too big, I took a smaller one and removed the Bigger mainjet. But when I try to screw the new smaller one back on, it won't go in. Not catching any thread at all... I already read a topic from someone with the same problem, he solved it by pushing down the thread from the top of the carb, I tried that but still it won't catch any thread. If I take a long screw with same diameter as the jet, it catches the thread, but the jet won't. My stockjet is less length than the new ones, so I think lenght can't be the problem. Anyone? Ok, I finally made it work! Turns out there is a small groove in the jet needle, that will slide over a small nut in the bottom. Mine was turned so the nut and groove weren't in line. When I opened the top of the carb and remove the diaphragm with the tube, i can easily reach down to the jet needle and made it slide in the right way. Hope this is helpfull for others as well. Btw the cable from the speedometer has the same kind of mount, a small groove! Sorry for the bad English... |

Title: Re: Mainjet won't go in? Post by Serowbot on 05/03/13 at 16:15:13 The jet screws into a tube called the jet needle... It's slipping up in the hole... (you can push it down from inside the carb throat,.. or, as you were, catch it with a longer screw and pull it down... then once it's down, don't push the main in, and then try to screw it... Instead,... hold the main gently in position, and start turning it, to catch the threads... then, the main will pull the needle jet down and hold it in place).... ...(usually, just removing the washer will allow the main to catch, and you can pull it down, then reinstall with the washer in place)... ;)... Don't forget the washer that goes on the main jet... it needs to be there... ;)... Most carbs are like this (some others have the needle jet pinned in place)......sometimes you don't notice, because the main catches the needle,... but they can occasionally get pushed up...

Title: Re: Mainjet won't go in? Post by Serowbot on 05/03/13 at 22:48:29 Get Yoda on it,.. Rob... ;D... If you can catch it with the screw,.. you can catch it with the jet... .... if you absolutely can't... you'll have to pull the carb, and bench it, so you can get yer' finger in there, and forcefully push the needle jet down, and hold it, while you get main to thread... There's the easy way, and the hard way,.. but there ain't no other way... ... with some gentle focus,... you can usually coax the threads into mating... Best luck, Serow |
