Quick Yes/No question: Air/Pilot Screw location, I have a pic.

[idro]

I have a '06 400ex. Is this the pilotscrew?

The pic i have of a carb shows it on the bottom, but im not seeing any flathead screws on the bottom of my carb.

No that's your float bowl drain screw. It's in front of your carb straight back from your idle screw, you can see it on your exhaust side better. Or if you want take a pic from your exhaust side on your carb and i'll tell you were it is.

yea i just got down there with a wider mirror(a makeup mirror to be exact....... lol hold the laughs) and a flashlight and the screw or w/e is completely free of debres(sp?). It looks like a screw without a flathead slot but on the edge it has a small peice taken out of it...

Any thoughts on this? Anyone else with an '06 EX had this? Or am i one of the lucky ones with a freakatv?

your screw is in the first tab thingy on the left next to the float bowl. on my carb it does'nt have that extra tab on the right. Do you have one of those mirrors that mechcanics use then you could see the actual screw head. Yours is really turned in, on mine you can see the head of the screw.

That's normal, dynojet kit has a special "D" shaped tool for it.

ok let me ask you this, is the screw very small? Like i would need a computer flathead screwdriver to turn it?

I can't see inside the left tab thing. So im going outside and looking again.

ya you got it, i just need one of those tools. Do i have to buy it from Dynojet? There any other places that would have it? And with the tool would i be able to do it with the carb on the atv?

the screw head is about 3/16 of an inch wide. It's a gold looking color looks like copper to me. I turn mine with a long needle nose pliers. maybe it's just the oppisite maybe it's in the longer one, just take your mirroe and look in both of them.

Or buy a 04 or older screw they are alot easier to adjust
