[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 54738, member: 60"] :( OK I am stumped! As an old Amal hand this is my first Mikuni (28mm VM) set up by Alens. It is a great improvement, my cooking Comet has never gone so well. I can tell however that its too rich on the pilot and I understand that the pilot screw gives some adjustment but for my 8 stroking beast I have bought some smaller pilot jets 1 and two sizes down to fit (minute brass items with a small slot in end) Thing is I have the drawing (pilot is 21 in diagram) and here is a blurred picture of the underside but for the life of me I cannot see where the pilot fits! The two obvious holes are drain pathways to the drain pipes. nowhere do I see the end of the pilot jet and the whole thing seems far to delicate to go scraping around with a electricians screwdriver I f you know where it goes please let me know refer to a clock on the blurred picture with main jet in centre (ie my thumb is at 1/4 to nine) [ATTACH=full]2885[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]2886[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
