Without pulling the carb? Just dropping the bowl?

 

From memory, yes you can. Make sure you use the right size flat screwdriver so as not to mess up the notch on your jet.

 

Do you have the Keihin CV carburetor?
If you do, then be aware that since it is a Japanese carburetor it may have originally come with JIS screws in it (I'm not sure they all did).
They look very much like Phillips head screws but there is a difference.
If all you have is Phillips screwdrivers and you are going to try to use them, you will will need to push them hard into the head of the JIS screw as you are turning to keep the driver from camming out and chewing up the screw.
If the screws are really stuck in there, you are way better off getting the JIS screwdriver you need or pulling the carburetor and removing them by grabbing them with pliers or cutting a slot in the end (if you can get to it well enough).
I replace them with stainless socket cap screws size 4M-.70 X 14MM so I can use a hex key the next time I have to pull the bowl.

 

On what?

But no matter what model, it takes just a few minutes to remove a carb....

 

On the low rider. Already replaced the Japanese Insidious Screws with ss cap screws. Removing the air cleaner and 4 cap screws is a whole lot quicker and easier than enrichener , fuel line, vac line, throttle cables and carb and, putting them back correctly, if it isn't necessary.

 

Mini vise-grips!

 

yes, you can get to it when mounted. might wanna kill the gas in the last half mile to run the carb down tho.

also good idea to switch to metric Allens too, per the above comment.

 

Tes, You can get to it, its if you can be a contortionist to spin it off.

 

I'd also pack a towel in behind the pushrod tubes so you don't keep burning your knuckles on the fins too.

 

Two hours start to finish including test ride, pulling the carb.
