Carb jets missing?

rrennert · Oct 20, 2013

Is this possible? I'm taking my carbs apart to clean them following the manual I was given with my bike. Has been fine so far up until this part:

"Unscrew the idling jet (4), starting jet (5) and needle jet (6)"

But in my carbs at the location of (6) there is nothing to unscrew like there was for (4) and (5)...or am I looking for the wrong thing? Could it be possible that it is missing?

Thanks in advance!

I can see the main jet right there!!!!!!

That 6mm hexagonal brass piece of metal is called a MAIN jET and it's right where it should be.

Get a 6mm socket and take it out.

The hole you seen in the centre is where the needle would locate, there is nothing missing.

Thats your main jet The jet is like a hex nut where the needle drops through it. Use a small socket to unscrew it.

Ohhh! That makes a lot more sense

Thanks for the clarification, I'll continue to work on it!
