Topic: My pilot screws have no impact on RPMS

[Spanner 1]

What answer is being given ?...... the OP left this thread without the problem being resolved on Jan. 19th  2011 . So any posts after this date with the OP not involved and trying suggestions is a waste of time and cannot resolve the problem....... makes NO sense.  If someone posts a new reply on a year old abandoned thread 'cos they misread the date then have a good LOL at yourself instead of trying to defend a simple mistake.... wow

If you believe there is a grievous error in forum etiquette or protocol, perhaps a note to the moderators would be a more suitable approach to its correction?

You may wish to review just who made the mistake in this thread.  (Hint, the "mistake" posts were off topic, imo.)

Cheers,

Spanner,
It was no mistake.  Lucky does this constantly.  He posts something in a thread that is over a year old.  I think he has something to say/ask about carb jetting but simply cannot state it or ask it in a new thread.

Mr. Lucky's post yesterday was just another suggestion to the OP's problem, he wasn't asking anything new for himself, just like all the other replies that went before it in the thread... only difference is ALL the others were in Jan. 2011 . It's completely obvious Lucky saw Jan. 19th. and presumed the posts were only 2-3 days old. He wasn't 'adding information' to a resolved issue. Re-read the thread, the OP left it and nothing was fixed about his bike.
What does 'Lucky' say about his post ??

Its no accident.  Check out these resurected gems from Lucky:

Guess what topic they all cover?




Carbs!


Obviously he is searching for something or attempting to add some information to the collective about carbs.  Whatever....Like you I was puzzled by it at first but now I think its kind of funny.  He has been asked before about resurecting old posts but never answers.  This Lucky is a complicated man.

Rookster, are you feelin' lucky ?.... LOL,OL, LOL

Take out a pilot screw, and see there's a hole drilled thru it.   THAT is the problem, if you solder up that hole and trim off the excess neatly, you will be able to get an adjustment there!!    With the holes drilled in 'em, no matter where you turn the screw, air still pours thru and it won't adjust.     '77's and '78's have a needle screw there so don't need ths mod.   Also any other method of securely plugging the hole will do the job.

Dear Rookster,
      Thank you resurrecting this old post, or maybe you just got "lucky", which was for my benefit.  I enjoyed reading all the technical review which I'll use to improve my carb tuning skills.  I too have experienced non-effect from mixture screws and will use some of this info on my k-8 with stock airbox and 4-1 exhaust (with muffler)  I assume the screw with the hole in it came from a pre-77 carb which I have none of.  But my three k-8 projects will benefit from the rest of it.  I just struggle through the parts where some folks can't appreciate the experience, expertise, and consummate language skills that TT brings to this forum...thanks again.

I needed this post.  Besides, you get flamed if you ask a question that's been asked before.

Just sayin'

Some of us are just grumpy old farts.  Don't let anyone bug you.

I like old threads;now if we could just try 'stitching'em together' rather than pullin'em apart we'd have a nice patchwork quilt !   lol

No you get flamed for not using the search function first. If the question has been asked before chances are the question was anwered before as well.
