Again, I'm not sure on the Pilot Jet, I'll call the shop again to see what jet they found as the little credit card receipt I have doesn't have it. (Its the jet that was listed in the book).
So the pilot jet should be tight? If thats the case, then I clearly misunderstood the other posts I was reading. I thought people had mentioned the pilot jet was supposed to be unscrewed a little. (Can someone please clarify for me? pretty please? lol)
As for the floats, the float appeared to be fine before I closed it, infact I actually replaced the old float with a new float, the old one was horribly dirty to the point I thought it was heavier than it shoulda been. It appeared to move freely when I was putting the carb back together.
It hasn't "ran fine" in a very long time, because unfortunately she's had more garage time than ride time. (20 year old bike, less than 3800 original miles) had a tank of gas in her for at least 8 years, so lacquer and sediment from the tank rust set in, and thats what I had to clean out and why I just replaced the main and pilot jets. A month ago, as I mentioned it would idle with ether, but not throttle. Now it throttles but doesn't idle.
