Carb Help needed...Part missing?/

[dajogejr]

Hello....all. I wish this didn't have to be my first post.

96 banshee...going through all the jetting. I installed the Toomey idle kit, no issues.

Cleaned up the whole gig.

 

Now...I used compressed air to blow them dry after a good, thoughough cleaning.

 

One carb has this tube on the bottom, the other doesn't. I don't remember if the one had one from the get go...

 

I think it's for the choke cirucuit..but, I'm not sure. Please see attached pic. Am I missing a tube, is this normal...or...did I kill some brain cells last night that might have done me good?

 

Thanks!!

 

Ok...I can't seem to attach the pic, even though I shrunk it pretty small...

Any ideas? It's only 134KB.

Only one carb has the brass tube, it is the left side carb. Make sure you put the proper float bowl on that carb. It is the one that has a small brass jet in the bottom of the hole that the tube fits in.

Yeah...a wrench buddy of mine that works at a local Honda/Suzuki dealer said the same...late last night. Thanks much!

 

I looked at each bowl very...very carefully. They both seemed to have that tiny little jet in there...looked similar to a pilot jet...

 

Can that be?

 

I've got another post in the jetting/mod forum...I think i'm going to go back to the stock 25 Pilot jet to clean up the bottom...I'll double check then....

 

Thanks again, RBD.

 

Feels good to be back in the saddle again after a little time off!

Ron...you were 100% dead on. When I leaned the pilots today...I double checked. One had the liggle jet thing, the other didn't. And...of course, I did have 'em backwards..

 

Sorted...and thanks again!
