Question When trying to help a friend with a gummed up carb. I had to disasseble and dip it, but my problem is the adjustment screw just infront of the bowl.. I forgot to count the amount of turns before removing, and once assembled you are not able to make complete turns as it has a stop to limit adjustment to small increments......
Answer If it's a plastic cap you can pry it off but be careful you don't break the air fuel mixture screw. If it's a metal cap you can't get those off without breaking the screw unless you grind off the tab. I'm not positive what the setting is from teh factory but I'd start at about 2-3 turns. Some bikes are only 1-2 and others are 2-3.
