Mine's a brass color facing downward and larger than the other screws. Seems like it may be hid a little behind the idle screw mount but I'm going from memory.

You want to move the needle further from the seat. One direction would cork the hole, the other allows more fuel. You'll see when you get into it.

 

Thanks, i will know what to look for now. But your last statement confused me. I know i will prob understand better once i get the needle out but, what way do i need to move the clip. You told me that one way will cork it and the others give more fuel. What did you mean by cork? I know im prob bing a pain, but i want to make sure i move it the right way.

 

I understand that i need to richen the needle, you told me to move the clip down one position toward the point, and in the clymer manual that i have it told me to move it the other way to richen it. And from the pic it displays you need to move the clip away from the point on the needle. Thanks man.

Okay, by that pic in order for me to richen it, i need to move the clip down one position AWAY from the needel point. You told me to move it toward the point. Im not trying to prove you wrong i just want to make sure i do it right the first time, so hopefully i wont have to take it all apart again. According to what you have told me i need to richen the needel right? And if so then i have to do like i stated above. Right? Thanks again.

 

I consider the point the long end. Kind of reminds me of a lance, I guess.

 

Thanks man, im still a lil confused, but i will try it anyway. If its wrong then i will just do it again. Thanks for all your info.

 

Remember that where you ride will also affect the fuel mixture. I have a simular setup as you discribed and I run a 170 main jet but i ride on the coast where it is rarely over 65 degrees. Very dense air requires more fuel.

 

Raptorlegs, thanks for all your info. I did the changes yesterday, finished late so i did not have a chance to ride it yet. The onl problem that i had was when i but the throttle valve arm back in place i didnt get the spring on right the first time and the throttle valve was sticking. But i took it back apart and got it fixed and now works fine. I also adjusted the mixture screw like you juggested. Just one more question, i read in the clymer manual that the mixture screw comes pre-set from the factory and dosent require adjustment. I just want to know if its common when re-jetting to have to adjust the mixture screw? And just what does the mixture screw do? I know that it has something do to with the air/fuel mixture but how does turning the screw 1/2 a turn out make that big of a diff? Thanks again.
