I'm having a promblem with a carb issue i dont excatly know what it is called but here goes

 

 

on my carb there is a pin keeps popping out on me and it makes the slide spin on me every few rides and the engine revs real high. I keep having to push it in lightly and then its all good is there a way to fix this and what the hell is the term for it? I half to use a long screw driver to pop it back in

 

 

1 can i drill that and put a screw in there?

2 Is it old and wore out and i just need new carbs

 

 

they are stock carbs

Sounds like stock carbs, I'v never heard of that happening and I can't remember exactly how those look, surely a way to fix.

make sure its pushed in all the way and put some jb weld over it, that worked for me. make sure the slot on the pin is verticle to your slide before you jb weld it

ditto. /\ make sure it's completely clean and dry before you glue it.

jb weld is actually the best repair, like welding. simply pull the pin out, clean the hole out wth brake kleen and scratch it with a pick. remove any protrusions, and fill the hole. put the pin back in, and wipe of any excess flush with the bore. let it set, and it's like brand new. jb weld is metal replacement that can be ground and machined. done right, it will be 100 times better than a screw, and you wouldn't have to risk messin up the slide bore when you trim and shape the screw, which would be a piain in and of itself. i know it sounds like super glue, or duct tape repair, bu it's not.
