what clip?

(1/3) > >>

MadKaw:
was going thru my carb on the '93 K5 for the first time today. and cleaned out the jets, and cleaned all the carb off all the pathways were cleaned.

a few ?'s along the way
1. didn't notice any numbers on the jets
2. something supposed to be on the 2nd clip, saw no clip, except for the one the little needle jet was hanging from, but saw no way to adjust it.
3. isn't there supposed to be a spring on the bigger screw on the left side of the carb, mine has a washer. this is the air screw right?
4. the little screw was all the way in, hell, they both were.

have a manual for the bike, but its at my friend house with the bike.

any help? :?

demographic:
The needle has a series of 5 grooves in it, you can adjust the height (or clip position) by hanging the needle off the clip in another groove.

Tumbleweed:
I've always been confused by the clip postion. if it says "2nd" clip, does that mean the second clip from the top or bottom of the needle?  :?

jigggawatt:
They number from the top to the bottom. Number 1 being at the top of the needle.

MadKaw:
now this is the little cone shaped bit hanging from the float base by the little wire loop?
