Question about my jets.
« on: January 04, 2018, 04:39:24 PM »
Is this my main jet?

The one closest to the pilot screw. I tried putting carb fluid through it thinking it would go through to...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oWj_CwysDa0z1d3jXE7hXdqty117bQxB/view?usp=drivesdk

that passage to the left but it just sits there. compressed air didn't appear to go through unless there's just a tiny hole so I couldn't tell for sure.

And how does anything go through that hole with the black kidney cap screwed on top?

And what are the holes in the sides of the slow speed and (secondary?) jet tubes for?

And finally what is the picture icon button in the editing screen for if not to display images from a url and how do you make it work if possible? every time I try it doesnt work

Thanks!

anyone have any ideas? I'm guessing since this is the case for all my carbs it's probably normal but I would just like confirmation before I put it back together


So the secondary jet is the one opposite the long piston needle? I thought it was the primary. If it is then which jet is the one furthest towards the pilot screw?

I can't see any jet or black cap in either of your pics?

no, the pic doesn't have it in. I'm guessing you're not familiar with the black kidney shaped cover over those air jets.
