jryan Posted July 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cami Posted July 2, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 2, 2020 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 Miike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted July 2, 2020 Share #3 Posted July 2, 2020 I've always been able to pop them off pretty easily with a long slender screwdriver. Can't usually find them afterwards but I never put them back on anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
