I bumped the idle jets in my carbs up a size 2 weeks ago, and still have not re-adjusted them for better running.
I hate adjusting my carbs! Especially when it is hot out. But a 1400 RPM idle is just embarrasing, and I am sure I am running way rich. Quick, everyone poke fun so I have some reason to get to work this week and get those puppies back into line. Zach |

Gee Zach, adjusting the carbs is one of the easiest tasks I'd want to do. No contorting, no high torque fasteners, no grease, no problemo!
I'm with JMill here. Now if you are taking out the fresh air blower in front..... |

Now if you are taking out the fresh air blower in front..... Thats easy. Drain the gas from your 914 into your daily driver. Pull the tank and you are free to get all that stuff. Just nuts and bolts, no art to it. For me, at least, I need to be in the right frame of mind to set carbs. I need to let things happen slower then I like. Can be hard for me to do, making myself go by the numbers and not skipping ahead. Zach |
