Remove?

Please take a look at the picture.  There is a brass looking bushing / jet.  I'm cleaning the carbs on the 74 550.  Does this need to come out?  Does it come out?

Yes, it needs to be removed as it is the mid-range/emulsifier needle jet holder.  You will need to remove the slide and tap it through from the top with a soft, blunt object(pencil maybe).  If the bike had been sitting the orifices are clogged...Larry

I figured as much.  They're in there pretty good.  Soak, soak, soak.  One of the slides is still in carb one.  You sure you didn't make up that mid=range emulsifier flux capacitor term?   :)

Thanks

Whoa! The mid-range/emulsifier needle jet holder is completely different than the mid=range emulsifier flux capacitor. What ever you do, don't get them mixed up!! ;) ;D

Definitely made it up-figure it covers every description I see people on the forum call it. ::) ::)  I never saw the term emulsifier tube until I found this forum, in the shops I worked in the term was mid range needle jet holder...Larry

Aw Hell, I got them backwards.  Had to look at the thing in a mirror just to straighten it out. ;D
