Pilot air screw 78 CB750F2
« on: October 30, 2006, 02:19:51 PM »
Does anyone have any information about pilot airscrew operation of my 78 CB750F2? My engine runs rich on idle unless the screws are turned almost all the way in (ie about half turn out from fully home) I have noticed that there should be a small washer and an O ring on top of the spring according to my Haynes manual cutaway drawing but these are not present on my carbs. Does anybody know what they do and what would be the result of not having them?  Thanks. (For reference see item 21 on attached drawing.)

I'm afraid the F2 carbs are different from all the others (except the K8) as they are tuned for lean with accelerator pumps to improve the instant throttle response.

If the o-ring is missing it's quite possible that the air is leaking past the screw and \"screwing\" (sorry) the mixture completely.

Try posting this question on www.sohc4.net/forums as there more carb gurus over there.
