Just stripped my carbies right down to the bare essentials and gave them the best cleaning of their life after my whole "gasket in a tube" fiasco.
Now Ive cleaned the carbs before but it was jsut once overs the float bowls and jets.
Correct me if im wrong but are the pilot screw settings not meant to be roughly the same for each cylinder? My carbs were set up as follows and im pretty sure someones done a half ass job and put jets back in the wrong spot to.

1-4 (left to right sitting on bike)

1. 2. 3. 4.
main: 105 main:105 main:102 main:102
pilot: 35s pilot:35s pilot:35s pilot:35s
screw: 1 3/4 out. screw: 2 1/4 out screw: 1 3/4 out screw: 2 3/4 out

Shouldn't the pilot screw settings be roughly the same not over a full turn different as some of mine were? Also i know that stock jets are two sizes. but arent cylinder 2 & 3 meant to be one size and 1 & 4 another?
Got a bolt on straight through can on to obviously she wasnt jetted for it, would it be worth going up to 110s all round? (stock filter.)

Haha, wow...

Yes the outer two main jets should be the 105's and the inner two the 102's, the mixture screws should all be the same number of turns out too, about 1 3/4 turns.

Jetting will depend on how your bike is running, if it's leaning out then you may need larger jets, but put it all back together properly and tell us how it feels throughout the rev range.

before doing the 1 3/4 thing, how do you know when you've already reached the max clockwise screwing-in for the pilot screw?

 

[jlyall]

Hey mate it's done from when they are screwed completely in, so you can't turn it anymore without force. Don't over tighten using this method, just screwed in so they are "in" not over tightened. If you get what I'm saying.

ok, got that; another thing, I found my pilot screw to only have the o-ring and the spring, no small washer, but was running good before, any future problems with this?

 

[Aduro]

Will be fine without the washers P.roach. Screw the pilot screws in until they seat at the bottom of the thread (bottom out) and then count as you screw outwards from there.
