I will not participate anymore with the discussion from horror_fan. Let's call a spade a spade - It clearly has been pretty much a waste of effort when the question is what is a "needle" after being in this kind of threads for almost a month now.. Absolutely no attempt to learn anything about a carburetor has been demonstrated. It's like trying to discuss this stuff with my wife, who could care less about motorcycles, much less carburetors.

I would have thought with the access to the internet and a number of links some research to learn something would have been done. I'd think knowing the basic parts of a carburetor would be the first thing to do. Then consider the options. A half dozen members have made suggestions and given information to no avail. It meets the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. We have led the horse to water, but we cannot make it drink.

Take it as an insult or take it for what it is - a wake up call to use the computer to look up information. That is how I find things I need to know fo more than just motorcycles. I've added to web design skills as well as graphics. Simply looking up Keihin carburetors will lead to their tuning manual. .There's a hell of a lot of information from absolutely reliable sources at the click of some keys.

 

Well, a part of me agrees with KLX678, but the Boss/Instructor/Captain in me knows of peeps like Horror - his "makeup" may require that he learn this stuff "his way"..

I dug in to research (tons of reading) and hands-on with a disassembled CVK , as well as lots of trial and error on the dyno - before I got to "where I am" ...

So... I gave him the proper setup, but I do not provide "CVK courses for the pseudo-committed" .... As I've told him, search on me and read my posts and you'll get the knowledge - certainly enough to ask informed questions instead of uninformed ones..

 

...sure whatever. thanks for your time.
...thanks for this un necessary post I can tell ur some old guy with a stick up his *** thats the most it does for me.
honestly speaking I'm learning enough idc if you can tell through the internet.

don't know where your quoting me "whats a needle" you said "needle" and also showed a diagram with three different parts labeled needle.
you could have just the slide needle

 

is the dot on the bottom of the slide suppose to face the front of the engine or the back?

My suggestion is to get a camera and put it on the workbench. Everytime start taking something apart, take a picture of it first. Then you will know most of your answers.

Ever try and put a carb back together that someone else has taken apart. I'm imagining that is what your experiencing.

 

the reason why I was asking was bc I took it off the first time and didn't notice the hole.

 

That is why you take a picture! Hello?
I can't help you, I have a pumper and never ever seen that part before although when your done, I have a virgin 07 carb in a box somewhere.

 

...I guess you can't and neither can anyone else cause no one reads what I'm actually saying..

I'm trying to discuss an issue that has ALREADY OCCURED.. I'm not looking for you to give me advice. honestly I use pictures all the time to remember engine harness wires, fuse amps, etc ... dude go fk urself

 

Horror, take your carb completely apart, put it back together, and you'll have answered a lot of your own questions - questions that you should NOT be asking here.. If you are not able to get your carb back together, you will need to hire it done...

 

Pretty sure the slide will only go in one way, but the air slide hole should face the motor.
