Gotta drill very slowly and very easily so you don't go all the way though. I hope you didn't damage your carb when you said it took out part of the housing around it.

actually, I dont think that I was going on the correct plug now. I had some dislexia and was on the left side of the bike. glad I didnt go through too far. it was the only place I could find with any sort of a plug. were the carbs different in 2002? the bike started up just fine after I got sick of drilling and called it a night though, so hopefully its not too bad

You'll notice the speedo cable in the foreground to give you a landmark on where it is. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1116902127

on the pilot jet with holes and without - I can't tell much difference - I sent one of each to someone - steve530 I think - maybe he has had a chance to compare.

I installed the larger pilot with bleed holes, but did not try the larger non-bleed hole pilot jet. It is an improvement over the stock, but I can't sa that it's because of the bleed jet.

It's running pretty well, so I'll take Reelthings word for it.

i just looked at my carb and i think i know what you are talking about. It's pretty small correct? My guess would be if you didn't drill deep enough to break through to any passages behind, then it should be ok, i don't believe the carb gets put under extreme loads of pressure. Thats the engines job. If you aren't the first owner of the bike, then the plug may already be removed. Mine was when i bought the bike.

belt chirping or belt guard eh? that wouldnt suprise me one bit at all. that belt guard looks like it could make a nice metallic sound. right up untill I dynamat it that is. lol. actually if I figure out that its that I just wont care, if it wont hurt the bike, I dont care, noises that are part of the machine and just how it is, thats fine, like a good lover you gotta live with the snoring if you want such a good ride.

well there it is, my first blunder, wonder how many more I will make.... anyways if someone can tell me how bad this is I would appreciate it, though, well, I rode the bike to work today and there was no problem at all with it that I could tell, so I guess I didnt do anything TOO bad I dont think
I did check the other side and sure enough there is a plug with a small hole in the center and white dot on it, looks like maybe someone already drilled but didnt remove the plug
