Ok another stupid carb ?

[Scorpio1963]

Forgive me Sorry to start another thread on carbs without having to read a couple of hundred threads on fuel mixture adjustment.
I have a couple of quick ?`s.
Where the float bowls are theres a ruber plug and a adjustment screw.Im ass uming this is fuel mixture screw and if so how many turns should it be set at?

Nope. That is the pilot jet. Take it out and you should find it is a penis shaped jet. Make sure to replace the rubber plugs with new ones. You don't want your rubber leaking or falling out...

yellow mix screw
purple mains
green pilot system
orange fuel enrichment

The externally adjustable screws on the top of the carbs (directly above the throttle shafts) are the pilot screws. These are what you use to fine tune the idle mixture.

I was looking on there dont know if I overlooked it but I didnt see them on there.
I see not only am missing the orings but I missing one of the small washers also.That probaly happened early fall when I took them off outside.
frwinks thankyou for this valuable info about the carbs.

 

[Scorpio1963]

I looked again I think i found the right parts.

That kit should work.

FYI: I found a kit of assorted o-rings at a local parts store for $6 that has a broad size assortment of sizes from 3/32 x 15/64" up to 3/4 x 1". It has already paid for itself after using 5 o-rings. Might be worth looking for something similar.

Also, be sure to use a bright light and magnifying glass to see if the washers and o-rings are not stuck in the bottom of the pilot screw hole. I had to use a dental pick to remove mine as they were stuck real well.

I thought about that idea but I need the little washers also and I have already double checked to make sure they arent in the those holse the jets go into.IF I can get away without the flat washers then the oring kit at the autoparts store may work.

 

[Scorpio1963]

DAVE I OWE YOU A BIG THANKYOU! I doubled checked sure enough the little oring was right where you said it would be.So I found another flatwasher the same size of the other one.Everything is in place and good to goStupid carb question closed

Us dummies or not so dumb maybe rookies is a better word for it should be so blessed to have people around on this forum to help us.
As for the reoccuring dumb questions I know it happens on other forums so we here are not alone.
Theres a Blazer forum Im on also it boggles my mind on how manytimes people ask the same reoccuring ?`s Even though there are rules that prohibit it and it totaly annoys the crap out of me.If people would just read the forums they can answer most of their questions.

 

[xschris]

Yes yes yes
