HI All,
Over the past few weeks, I've been working on getting my '96 YZF750R running again. Long story short, I let the bike sit for too long and when I went to start it, it wouldn't fire. Lesson learned... No fuel stabilizer and time equals carb rebuild.
I've been using an ultrasonic cleaner and dish soap to clean most of the parts. But for the main jet needles, I wanted to soak them in Gumout. So I removed the circlip and plastic doughnut stopper so it wouldn't get messed up and dropped the needles in to soak. That's where I'm at now and that leads me to my dumb carb question... Before I took the needles apart, I noticed that the circlip prevents the needle from moving towards the main jet. But there doesn't appear to be anything that prevents the needle from moving in the other direction. Why is that?
