Topic: Jet question 550

[messeduptriple]

I got some new 120 and put one in... Seems a bit not as tight as the old ones... Not sure if this is a stupid question but will it stay tight if I install them and place the carbs back in?? I will have to flip this over. The jet seems pretty snugg but I'm just worried it will pop out.  Should it b fine?

that leaf spring retains it,,,,,against the inside of the float bowl,,,you dont need to remove the carbs to change the jets,,with some dexterity you can wrangle the bowls off and back on in situ.

...........oh......... That seems like it would be kinda hard to do.

On the contrary, it's not difficult at all. I can do it blindfolded.

It IS if your fingers look mostly like toes or thumbs.

I will have to try that next time! I thought that you needed to pull out the carbs everytime u change jets and stuff.

+1 on that. I use a short stubby phillips screw driver with 1/2 to 2/3 of its handle cut off.
