Wow those are really bad ! I can't wait to see the results !
you might use a heat gun to heat the carb base to get the jets out !
I've snapped off pilot jets before in carbs like that !!!!
good luck !

were in such poor condition, achieving throttle plate/shaft motion took awhile. Both carbs were frozen solid. Note "were". Jets out/back in after my normal treatment. Getting there, need 1 more day to complete them.

the next victim chosen...................

ducatiman · March 26th, 2023, 03:50 PM

recently did carbs for a certain EX500 owner, he reinstalled them yesterday, became anxious to hear it start/run......however, without the OEM air filter.

He reported the bike started/idled ok, but upon throttle, puked at 1/4 to 1/3 throttle.
Answering his text, I made him aware that the filter supplies somewhat of a restriction, which the carbs require by design. I suggested he give it up till he had the "missing piece" installed. Today he texted, reporting it "passed with flying colors".
So I offer y'all.....keep in mind the difficulties running without airbox or filter, or testing carbs without same.

You must be looking at the tiny pilot screw orings, top/right side of carb in pic.

yah that must be it ! I was thinking man it would be a bummer to loose a BB
from that carb..... but it's not ! just o rings ! whew !
I lost a BB out of a carb on a pinto one time and obviously it didn't work after that I found the right size from a bicycle and got it going again ! and the kid never noticed it ! LOL.... dirt floor shed at the time that sucked !

.....
Well done Gordon ! you do exceptional work !
