Where the main jet screws into the carburator there is a plastic piece the goes on first that almost puts up a wall around the main jet and covers up the pilot all except for a little hole.
anyone know what this is for? can i take it out??

 

noone?

 

I am not sure what it does but i think it stops gas from getting into the wrong parts of the carb. i wouldnt take it out. becuase there really isnt any point. you wont save much weight by pull it out LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Look at this picture carb,
which piece is it? #6? #16?

 

it acts like a straw,,,,to keep the fuel flowing instead of air,,,,,,if its the part Im thinking of

 

hondabuster, its part #16

i just have never seen one in a carb before so i wondered if it was even souposed to be there

thanks guys

 

Its just a baffle to keep the gas from sloshing all around the main jet on bumpy terrain.
