....please help.

Frank already set my carbs up to be rejetted with them on the bike. (thank you frank)

I want to change the jets and I can't get ahold of him to ask.

Question 1: what size is the nut that the jet sits in?

Question 2: Can't I just remove the nut that the jet sits in, change the jet and then reinstall both together with a a socket?

question 3: or do I have to hold that nut still and use an angled screw driver to remove JUST the jet by itself?

I don't want to walk down the street with every tool under the sun.....it will be dark and I'd like to do it tonight.

thanks all!!!!!




-Tony

A1: 8mm

A2: If you remove the nut that the jet is screwed into(called the needle jet holder) the needle jet will fall out.

A3: that's what I did. See answer 2.

At least... the needle jet will fall out if you remove the needle jet holder, and the carbs is still on the bike... gravity and all that you know...
