			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t pretend to fully understand the way carburetors work. I only know as much as I can interpret from what I read online and from that cryptic Clymer manual.</p>
<p>All my hunting through forums for a step by step instruction set for rejetting carbs was fruitless.</p>
<p>Here is my photo set that hopefully will help others feel less timid when it comes to opening these guys up. Granted, I didn&#8217;t fully disassemble them, I only replaced the main jets.</p>
<p>

<p>Removing the leaf spring is as easy as moving it to the right and sliding it out from the main jet.</p>
<p>

<p>Keeping everything together.</p>
<p>

<p>Since I was in here I thought I may as well check the slow jets to see if they were dirty or clogged.</p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.austincaferacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img-3689.jpg" width="480" height="360" alt="IMG_3689.JPG" /></p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.austincaferacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img-3690.jpg" width="480" height="360" alt="IMG_3690.JPG" /></p>
<p>They were fine. I blew some canned air through them and inspected them thoroughly.</p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.austincaferacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img-3692.jpg" width="360" height="480" alt="IMG_3692.JPG" /></p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.austincaferacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img-3695.jpg" width="480" height="360" alt="IMG_3695.JPG" /></p>
<p>Shiny new main jets. Installing them is as simple as pushing them in.</p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.austincaferacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img-3683.jpg" width="480" height="359" alt="IMG_3683.jpg" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it. I checked all the slow jets (all clean) and pushed in the new 115 main jets, and placed the leaf springs back on.</p>
<p>&#8230;.but</p>
<p>When I was putting the float bowls back on I noticed that three screws on two carbs weren&#8217;t screwing in correctly. The screw holes on the two carbs were stripped.</p>
<p>I was a little sad.</p>
<p>If the screws had been stripped I could have easily replaced them, but it was the screw holes on the carbs that were stripped. Bummer.</p>
<p>

<p>Luckily, I live fairly close to an Ace Hardware. A quick trip, and ten minutes later, I came back home with some sweet looking allen bolts.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.austincaferacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img-3696.jpg" width="360" height="480" alt="IMG_3696.JPG" /></p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.austincaferacer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img-3698.jpg" width="480" height="360" alt="IMG_3698.JPG" /></p>
<p>

<p>That solved my problem, except this method only worked on the outside carbs on the outside corners. I just lucked out that those were the holes that were stripped.</p>
<p>I have to say that I kinda enjoy running into these small little problems. It makes the whole experience that much more fun.</p>
