when changing jets I use a telescoping small mirror. It helps me line things up.

 

Excellent info guys!!! I'm going to try the needle nose vise grips.... Wish me luck!!!

 

Well the needle nose vise grips worked like a charm...I took the carb off just to make it easy on myself. Everything was a piece of cake to change.
I do have a question regarding the 2 large diameter tubes running to the airbox. I noticed that they both have large holes worn in them from rubbing on the frame, some are at least 2" long. Is this going to hinder performance at all?

Bombrider, I see your in Isreal...were you and your family in the "Letters" area of one of the ATV mags? There was a pic of a family, with one of them riding a Bomb.

 

I would guess with the slide being operated by vaccum that the holes worn in the tubes would hinder performance some. Maybe not...

 

Nah those holes wont effect your performance at all ...those hoses suck air a hole is a hole

 

maybe you are right? But wouldn't a hole in the tube connecting the airbox & carb cause a problem? I mean it's still air.

I just figured the "vaccum" might be affected. For that matter would it make a difference to even take them off if you left your lid on?

 

Freakneh,
It sounds like you are talking about the air intake tubes? The ones that come in to the air box at the bottom of the front of the box? One runs into each of the lower front corners? If so, these don't matter, it will actually help the machine to get more air if you take these off. Just be careful when riding in water!!

 

Yep, those are the tubes I was referring too. So you think it'll open it up alittle more to remove those huh.....I might give that shot. Here in AZ we don't really have to be too concerned with water...dust is more of a factor around here. I've always wondered what it would be like to ride on a moist, loamy trail, or track. LOL
Thanks for the responses guys.
