I know that I should know this by now but tonight I removed my two main jets to jet up a bit (removing airbox lid and going from DJ 146/148 to DJ 148/150)and while the carbs were upside down I noticed those brass screwheads "imbeded" underneith towards the front center of each carb. Are those the fuel mixture screws??? I tried turning them in 3 turns just to see... since they were supposed to be about 3 turns out but mine were more like 5???


Are they the fuel mixture screws??

If not where do I fing the fuel mixture screws? (and what the he** was I fidling with?!?!?

Thanks

 

Hi Xplor,

I just did the exact same modification that you are doing. Click on my photos page and go to "Jetting". I have a picture with a screwdriver pointing right at the air/fuel screw. Let me know if this helps.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yes, those are the screws. Verify with Gregv pics to be sure. 5 turns is way to much. Be sure you count complete revolutions of the screw driver. If you were counting 1/2 turns of the screw driver then your screws were actualy 2 1/2 turns out not 5.

 

Thanks for the quick responses! The pictures are great.

Back to the garage! hehe...

 

Should 3 turns be OK??? Or would 2 1/2 be better with the bigger mains?

 

I have both of mine turned out 3 turns. My elevation is below 900'

 

3 turns here. My elevations I ride is 0-6000'
