We do get some nice holes in the carb' slide that need to be filled though! (Noise regs.)
No smog crap though , thank god. Oh! And we get a carb' de-ice circuit cause it gets so cold over here. WTF...
Interesting! It's confirmed the capping of the low-speed fuel adjustment is a Californication thing and not world wide.

Interesting 132 main also. I don't have me here what the stock needle is, so I don't know if N1RX is what I have. Have not tried the N1TC yet.

OK, this carb de-ice circuit is new to me. Never heard of such a thing. I'll go research it.

If any one knows specifically how it circuit works please chime in.

Kawa put a T peice in the piping to the radiators which goes through a small filter then into a brass T fitting near the fuel screw in the carb, then the hot coolant goes back into the back of the cylinder.

Check out west's removal post for photos.

Mine is also sitting on the shelf as you need to drain the coolant every time you remove the carb with it connected.
