Air screw all the way in
Air screw all the way in
If I can turn the air screw all the way in and the bike still runs, do I richen the idle jet, or look for air leaks?

Re: Air screw all the way in
You have which engine?
When I find this syndrome I remove the screw and blow high pressure into the hole after I've removed and cleaned the slow jet.
Doesn't work every time and when it doesn't I pull the offending carb and do a complete rebuild. ............lm

when i spritz carb cleaner into the air intake of the carb, the idle drops. I disassembled the carb and cleaned the idle jet (and everything else) and reassembled. same issue. as i turn the air screw in, the the idle increases and the engine will not die with it all the way in. could the jet be too rich?

Does the CB450 have 2 carbs? Have you taken the carbs all the way off and cleaned all the passages? Do you have some issues with they way it runs where you would suspect the jets are wrong?versuspop wrote:when i spritz carb cleaner into the air intake of the carb, the idle drops.

We have a 73 CB500 but I think this is a different critter, it has 4 carbs in a rack and a real bugger to take apart and put together :)
