Pilot Jet Screw Help
I dissassembled my carbs over the winter for some maintenance, and now that I'm putting them back together with my new parts, I can't seem to remember the default position for the pilot jet screw inside the float bowl. I already have my idle/mixture screw backed put a hair over 2.5 turns and for the life of me, I cannot remember whether the pilot jet screw goes all the way in lightly sealed or a number of turns back out. Any advice or recommendations would be awesome! Thanks!!

The actual pilot jet (which IS located inside the bowl) gets reasonably tightened. Don't go all gorilla, you'll regret it later. Note YES bleed holes and non-pointy tip, no orings, springs. Don't forget to check for presence of the needle jets, the silver things that so often "go missing". They get inserted under the emulsion tubes, the open end inserted downwards. Yep, pilot adjust SCREW and pilot JET, differing locations and settings. Good luck with it.

Thanks I really appreciate it. We're totally on the same page. I've definitely had some trouble with those semantics. I probably should have refrained from saying pilot jet "screw" despite it being threaded. But great!! That answers my question
