Number 4 slow jet is clogged and impossible to remove. I pretty much stripped the screw slot and now I am at the point of deciding to leave that jet alone and button the carbs upin the hope that the one carb will not upset the running of the bike.



Any innovative removal method would be welcome and any input on leaving that jet as is will be helpful. Thanks

Well I've been thinking about drilling it out and then using an easy out to remove it. I see there are slow jets available out there. Yeah this is a problem carb, it was loaded with severe white gunk and needed a real cleaning the other three were no probelm. This bike had been sitting for at least the last seven years and only has 12,618 miles on her.

Well it's out, in pretty bad shape but at least it isn't holding me up anymore. I had to basically hammer a screwdriver into the soft brass to create a place to hold and using pressure and a vice grip on the screwdriver I was able to twist it out. I'll admit that wasn't very delicate but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I'm pretty sure I'll be buying all four slow jets just to be safe.
