you dont needa take the carb all out if your just doing the main and pilot, just remove the bowl(fuel is off ofcourse)

I would take the carb out, when ya get good at it you can do it when its still on the quad, but I still take mine out and I've had it apart 5 times now. If ya dont take it out its really easy to strip the screws. JMO.;)

thanks to everyone for the help. i installed the jets saturday seems to have helped alot. the bike seems to idle alot slower. do i need to adjust the air or fuel screws any thought i took care of the slow idle. also if anyone has any tips to get more bottom end speed let me know. i am getting into dirt drag racing heavier this year and would like to do some cheap mods. i already have the header and pipe, jets and k&n filter and lowered the front with shorter shocks and a new shock is on the way for the back.
