[QUOTE="Howard, post: 26490, member: 271"] Hi Chrislaun, I don't know if this is relevant. I just had a problem with a friends Comet that was having pilot jet problems on a new Mk1 Concentric. After lots of frustration I finally realised it had 2 pilot jets (or at least 2 restrictions) there was a pilot jet behind the pilot air screw and a pilot jet in the float bowl. I took the one out of the float bowl and it cured it instantly. The symptoms were poor lumpy low speed and the air screw could be screwed right in without much variation. H ps Now I've written that, I'm pretty sure my Mk1s have two pilot jets, so it may just be the sizes that were wrong. Anyway - it's a fairly quick thing to try, just take the float bowl off and unscrew the jet from there, if it changes things for better or worse it's a reasonable pointer to the problem. [/QUOTE]
