atvfreestylekid Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 I just got some bigger mains and they pull through the plastic piece. I put a thin washer on the mains, but will this screw something up? Or, can I just ditch the plastic? Thanks. Quote
yamaha04 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 to my knowledge the just stuck on there screw the main in and then put that plastic piece back over. im pretty sure they just say there because my carbs are the same way and have been like that for a year now. just tore them down the other day and those plastic piece where still there.

wacko2000 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Yea im not sure if you should ditch the plastic piece or not but it just slips right over the jet for sure... There is alittle brass spacer that goes inbetween the carb and jet... Quote
hyperlite33 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Mine doesn't have the plastic pieces and I don't think they have been in there for quite a while, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Quote
350BANSHEE350 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 they are splash guards and should be there the are not ment to be under the main jet you just screw the main in and slide it over top all the way down Quote
atvfreestylekid Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Posted January 31, 2008 they are splash guards and should be therethe are not ment to be under the main jet you just screw the main in and slide it over top all the way down But they will not stay there. they just barely hold onto these jets. they are smaller around than the 280's i had on them. before.

sheerider1026 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 i think once you bolt the bowls on they can't go anywhere, i would put them on and not worry about it. thats just what i would do. Quote
J-Madd Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 You don't have to use the splash guards, imo. I've ran a few sets of stock carbs without them....and aftermarket carbs don't have them either. Quote
MILO Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 the main jet doesn't hold it on there anyway, like the others said it just slips over the main. i agree though that once the carb bowl is back on, they won't go anywhere. it should be fine. Quote
inthemail Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 cool. i thought it looked fairley useless how the fuck can 1/4 cup of gas "splash" anyway Quote

Ok. I just put them back on the way the're suposed to be. After looking at it again, It does look like the bowls will help keep it on. Thanks guys -Josh Quote
