Hi guys,
Just make sure that you have an impact tool to remove the screws from the carb bowl, and the vacuum diaphram on the top of the carb. The screw that holds the carb to the rubber intake boot is also very soft...as are all the carb related screws...Typical SOFT Japanese screws!!!
As many times as I've had this thing apart to try and get the jetting right, all of these screws are just about buggered up...even using the right tools and trying to be careful. So save yourself some time, and get a set of these replacement screws before you even start! I found a great place to get replacement screws for the carb, though...Try your local NAPA parts store...Part # 81661 is a 4mm x10mm .70 pitch metric hex head screw that should fit the carb bowl, and Part # 82057 is a 4mm x 25 .70 pitch screw, with standard phillips head, that should fit the carb clamp...I bought a bunch of them today for only $6.00....so now I have some spares...
Rob, I ordered the Dynojet jet kit yesterday...the reason I went with it was the fact they set it up to work with a slip-on K&N filter as a Stage III mod...and this is what I wanted to do from the start...It is far cheaper ($57.00)than what else is pending out there, and I like the fact they did a lot of R&D on the needle. I have always had good results with Dynojet on past jettings, even on multi-carbed 4's.
I'll let you all know how the next, and hopefully FINAL re-jet operation goes, as soon as I get it done...
