As with all carbs, the smaller the orifice the more attention it needs. GL1200 carb bodies are the same overall "form factor" as the 80's V4 magnas and sabres, and like them have factory installed aluminum plugs preventing access to the air/fuel mixture screws (AKA Pilot needles). EPA!!! As...

Any method of pulling them is as good as another as long as the orifice itself is undamaged. You can even tap the bore for a screw-in slow jet. This I know because I tried it. Many caveats to the process so I don't publish it but I'm just sayin'... I designed my little dingus for repetitive...

Thanks everyone for the warm fuzzies! I've been at it in the current incarnation of oldschoolcarbs for going on two years + but for years prior I was oldhondaguy and before that hondaman, which was craigslist centered. I started out restoring Honda V4's and Inline fours as a hobby. Had a set...

The "ears" on the primary nozzle provide a stop for the jet so as long as the spring clip holds the jet securely you're okay with only one as long as it's sound. I've seen new nozzles somewhere but I can't for the life of me recall where or when or I'd go back and buy them out. The way we...

I'm OSC, aka Jack from Oldschoolcarbs, and pleased to be a new member. I had a long chat with Seth yesterday---it's always a pleasure to talk to someone who really knows his stuff. If anyone has carburetor related questions, fire away. OSC
