air screw setting
« on: September 29, 2020, 11:02:05 AM »
Hey all, finally have my 1971 Jap market CB750 running like a scalded cat, BUT the air screw/pilot is 2 1/2 turns out. The emulsifier holes on the main jet have been enlarged as per Hondaman's recommendations and everything else is stock....
Bike runs brilliantly and can keep up with my sons 69 with the no number pipes. Not bad considering its got 341 pipes on it.
So in my simple mind that air screw setting suggests I need to go one number larger on the pilot jet - T or F???

Let bike idle for one minute then check plugs.
2.5 turns lets more air into idle circuit, if plugs are tan idle jet may be larger then original.
