K9 Rebuild/Upgrade

Since Mick already knew the correct jets I went ahead and ordered everything.

The bowl vent is removed from the outside. No need to drop the bowl.

Appreciate it. You guys are lifesavers!

Mounted the Spike today. I put the VANCE & Hines back on to make sure the filter was not interfering with the air/fuel mixture. Seems fine. The new Carburetor will be here next week. Question: The top Mounting Bolt on the carb seems easy enough to get to. The lawn guys came and I had to stop and put the tarp back on. I didn't get a chance to look at the bottom Bolt. Can I get a Socket in from the opposite side...between the jugs?

Good luck.

Yes Super G. You are gonna wanna try .050 air bleed, .031 inter. & a .076 main for that Blow Exhaust. Should be able to dial it in with that setup.

When I replace jets on the new Carburetor, are they supposed to be screwed in tightly or gently?

Also, can the bottom bolt be easily accessed from the opposite side between the jugs?

Just bottom them out. No Gorilla

It can be accessed from the left side. Not easily but it can be done. Just an all around pain in the ass.

Ha...you mean like everything else! I've got to get this thing in the paint shop before Winter sets in. I may leave everything like it is for now, get the wheels on and all the brakes. We'll see how it goes with the weather. Sure do miss my shop. Thanks.
