Hello!
I'm writing from France.
Does anybody know how to remove the slow jet from the carburetor?
Thank you in advance,
Didou. :builder:

I've read of using a self tapping screw threaded in then popping it out, have not done this myself.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Actually yes your right Joe. I missed that didou has a '83.
Using a flat blade screw driver for one and a socket or wrench for the other, is it 8MM? can't remember.

Well if the carbs are '83 then they unscrew, could also have an earlier rack that doesn't unscrew. Not sure about '82.

Joe your are correct 83's are unscrewable, maybe it's a 81 carb? Something fishy going on there..

The 83's are removable, but they have a cap with an arm that prevents them from being over adjusted, there are several ways to remove them, the best is to remove the flout bowl and unscrew them, then you can remove the caps by heating them with a soldering iron or pencil torch this melts the epoxy and they will come off easily. Doing this will allow you to reuse them after readjusting the jets if you wish, most people don't.

I'm sorry I meant they are screwable not unscrewable..I'm sorry..I really do know that, but sometimes I type and don't read I'm a goof.. :smilie_happy:
