[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 48795, member: 54"] For adjusting the pilot jets I use this one [ATTACH type="full" alt="fyVMtP8A.jpg"]3269._xfImport[/ATTACH] Yes it do get hot. laying a wet rag on the engine helps With the carbs sitting flat on the bench, hook up your test tank with enough hose to raise it at least 3 feet above the carbs and let them fill. I use an electric 3 lb fuel pump to be sure enough pressure is there to mimic what will actually happen when the carbs are on the bike. Another way is use the bike's mechanical pump after removing all the spark plugs then crank it for 30 seconds or so, let it sit for a few minutes then crank again for 30 seconds. Now once the bowls are full, remove the bowl screws one bowl at a time without spilling gas. This is a bit of a trick. Another way to check how much gas there is in the bowls is by "screwing in" clear plastic tubing into the bowl drain screws, I don't remember what size the tube has to be but with the tube screwed in you raise the tube along side the bowl, the fuel level in the tube will be the same as in the bowl.
