Hello friends,
I am working on rebuilding BS38 carbs for a 79 Special II. Being very careful as I am not too keen on breaking any of the little bits in the carburetor assembly.
That being said, I'm not sure what the best way is to remove the jet needle. Every tutorial I see on carburetor rebuilding just states that the jet needle should be removed, or something to that effect. The Haynes manual only mentions they are "push-fit" [not sure what that means]. The closest thing I could find was this:
"In the BS38 the needle is retained in the slide by the clip, a plastic disc, and the slide spring." << That still isn't very specific about how to remove these things.
Can any one offer any more specific instructions? I would really the help.
Thanks
