Mikesblackbird Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 OK. I have the carbs off of the intake and can see the screws on the bottom. What tool do I use to adjust them? I know Pete says to remove the screws, slot them with a Dremel so in the future you can use a screwdriver, but how do I get the damn things out. I assuming at the base of the carburetor the "D" shaped screws are the adjustment screws? As usual help is appreciated. I also plant to shim the needles in the carbs and synch them after reinstalling them. Any secrets to watch out for in ding this? Thanks.

TFT Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 If you have purchased a jet kit, the adjusting tool comes with it. Otherwise its a bit of a hassle because the ends are a "D" shape and require that special adjusting tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Here Mike I searched the post for you. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?...&hl=hornady Or maybe tweezers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesblackbird Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Thanks for all of the help. I finished the pilot screws - 3 turns out, the carb synch (#1 and #2 were both out of sych with #3 and #4) and added the shims to the carbs. This is on top of the advance kit I added a few weeks back. I took the bike for a short ride and what a difference. A totally different bike. No flat spots, no hesitation and very responsive. I spent about 8 hours between yesterday and today and it's nice to see that it was well worth it. Thanks again. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
