Hey fellas,
Just tore my carbs apart and gave them a cleaning. High speed jets seem to have been a bit clogged. my question is, do i snug up this Part 26 screw, the slow idle orifice is at the bottom of hole?(diagram) do i snug it up, i think its a 1/4-20(thread pitch gage used). When disabling the carbs, one of these screws was super lose and another was pretty lose and missing an O-ring, seems like somebody half ass cleaned these carbs last time.
Does anyone know if the screw is needed?or purpose..and could it cause idle problems if it was lose or removed. Thanks guys
