Needles and Tubes

Post by Duncan Hines »

I finally have my carbs off and the previous owner hadn't touched them in a long time, nothing but varnish. Almost all the Yamaha phillips screws were stripped so I had to drill them out, why Yamaha doesn't use the same quality as Factory Pro astounds me. Does anyone have the Factory Pro carb kit instructions so I can clean them out?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :shades --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT=":shades"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

I do agree, power tools are alittle scary around my carbs, make sure the drill has a good clutch and pray for good luck. How do i pull the em tubes out of the carb? And what is the correct float height for a 38mm Miks on a YZF750R 1994? <p></p><i></i>

14mm on the carb height<br>yamaha recommends 12-14mm height<br>most folks here start with 14mm<br><br>rather than drilling them out - I simply used a dremel to slice a notch for a standrard flat blade screw driver - as mine were soft metal and stripped easily using the intended phillips <br><br>the tube slides out into the throat of the carb - just give it a push<br><br> <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:steelblue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:medium;">-John </span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... cement.jpg" target="top">1995 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... 00x600.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... resize.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1040</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

<br> Duncan<br> To remove the emulsion tubes, <br> They are accessed from inside the float bowls, you will see a brass hex nut, unscrew it and the jet body with the jets attatched can now be pulled off.<br> The emulsion tube is removed by pushing/knocking it out towards the top of the carb (diapragm side).<br> The emulsion tube also holds in the vacuum slide guide (white part) which may come out with it.<br> chris <p></p><i></i>

stock jetting

Post by ChuckD »

Don't forget, if using exup, no need to change jetting. All you need is needles and possibly springs, although some times better with stock.<br><br>Chuck D. <p></p><i></i>

Even if you use Pod K&N's and have an after market slip-on? I do have the stock header and exup, was going to replace the jets with 125's, any insight? <p></p><i></i>
