Is this the fuel screw as in the screw underneath the carb in the most inaccesable place ever ?
I've looked at it and to get at the screw looks like I'd need to tilt the carb which means loosening the clamps and taking the seat and petrol tank off.
Am I being useless here or is there any easy way to do this with the bike in running order ?
That's the one, lol!jb1164 said:Is this the fuel screw as in the screw underneath the carb in the most inaccesable place ever ?

You were nearly right! Having taken off the tank, saddle and bracket that clamps the frame to the engine head ( to twist thecarb enough to get at the bottom , the sprocket guard ( to get access to the furthest bolt on the bottom of the carb) , removed the bottom of the carb, taken our the starter jet (because the diagram in the manual is wrong) and then finally the pilot jet - and then 40 minutes later put it all back..........
IT STARTS FIRST TIME. ONE KICK . NO CHOKE. NO THREATS. NO SWEARING OR GETTING ANGRY. :)
So big thanks to all those who offered advice and to the guy who said I should slap my head for not realising it was set way too lean - you were probably right. :laugh:

So that's not for cleaning your ears out .
OK - thanks for all the support. :cool:
