Air screw

[blaster2006]

heya.

 

just a quick thing to ask about air screws, i have played with them before on my blaster, i left it on 1.75 turns out, but not because i knew it was good.

 

over here everybody says that "play with the air screw till it idles the highest", highest means what exactly? cause when i last messed with it in my blaster, there was no highest or lowest, it had just a slightly different noise.

 

oh also, how the hell am i going to adujust the airscrew with the right side carb? there are so many things in the way and the screw's angle is imposible to get to, even with a long, thin, flathead screwdriver i bought especially cause i thought it would work, when you guys change the airscrew on the right side carb, how the hell do you do it, or do you just take it off the motor, and then change it?

that screwdriver will work, just have to rest it on the other carb next to the boot, and the3 fuel line should move easily out of the way. there is kind of an area of adjustment, where it won't seem to change, but when you get it to the right spot, you will notice it. when it's the highest on both, rev it a couple of times and/ or ride a min, then let it idle 30 sec and tweak it a little, allowing the engine to adjust. thanx dave for bringing that point up today. :beer:

 

you still need to get in there and clean them. it's not a big deal, and i'm sure you have the time to do it. you can get a better look at how they work too. just don't force anything, and do one at a time, and they'll go like butter.
