Ok heres the problem Im having the idle mix screws seem to want to looseing up while riding the left side goes almost all the way out makes it rich,,then the right side goes in so it makes that side run lean I have set them both at 2 3/4 out and after about 20 miles they do what I stated readjusted and keeps on doing it..any suggustions on this... THANKS....JD
 
The o-rings are worn out. I used a little yellow loctite on the threads. Strong enough to keep them in place, but not to strong so they won't move.
 
Sweet thanks ill do that in the mourning....man they worn out quik i just replaced the screws and o-rings when i redid the carbs.Thanks again....JD
 
Do you have the springs on them? They do most of the job of holding them at their settings, the o-rings are more for sealing purposes.
 
No I didnt put the springs on them I put it back together the way it came apart and the springs were not on them...I will put them on...and try that also.. THANKS AGAIN...JD
