hey guys, my friend and i have been looking all over the carbureator for the air screw, but just cant find it. i also own a 125, so i know what it looks like. if it helps, his bike is a 2004 KX125, i own a 2000 KX125, so i assumed his air screw would look similar to mine. thanx :ride:

I had the same puzzle when I first picked up my '03 KX125. You can't just twist a knob like on most modern bikes - it's a small brass screw (for a phillips head driver) and a locknut on the left side of the carb. You might have to push an overflow hose to the side before you'll spot it.

Oooopps...that was the idle screw in the other post. The air screw is on the same side (left side when sitting on bike) next to the air boot and behind the carb fuel inlet. It's a flathead screw.

I hate to state the obvious, but your buddy needs to purchase a manual.

Here is an exploded view of his carb. #16014 is the air screw.
