Pilot screw cap removal


Recommended Posts

Can the pilot mixture screw brass caps be removed without removing tank/carbs?

 

I see the caps & can get a long screwdriver in there to adjust the screws, but caps are still installed. Cant get any leverage to pop them off. Just wondering what the trick is. I dont have a 12" needle nose to grab it with.

One method to remove caps or plugs on pilot screws is to VERY CAREFULLY drill a small hole in the cap or plug so you can start a sheet metal screw into the hole. Using a long screwdriver you can tighten the screw which will back the cap or plug out of the carb body. I am not familiar with your bike's configuration as I have a 1999 RSV. On other bikes I have used this system with excellent results. You may have to remove the carbs to get good access.

Good Luck
