Hi, I need help setting up my carbs.
Carbs were disassembled, cleaned ultrasonically, float height set, and reassembled.
The issue I am having is setting the pilot mixture screw.
I have searched for info and haven't found the info I need.
Most threads say to screw the mixture screw to a gentle seat and then turn out the prescribed number of turns before fine tuning.
My mixture screws have a large external spring and it is diffucult to tell when I am at a 'gentle seat'. Just wondering if anyone can walk me through this.
Here are a few pics to try and help explain the issue.
The bike is a 1977 xs400b. I really want to ride this thing, thanks for the help!!!
