have adjustable mainjet bendix carb on my 73. as some of you know i have been having some problems with this carb. anyway newest prob-the main jet, bolt that holds on the float bowl broke at the base yesterday! when i bought the bike the float bowl bolt was really wrenched on tight,guessing it held on as long as it could..i can"t find a # on this thing anywhere. i know you can buy the kit,jet,needle,spring,o ring.i just need the jet,anyone tell me the # for this? thanks
thanks Mick. everything but Bendix on this site....... i can find the jets alot of places,just don't know which goes on the adjustable model.also if one for the non adjustable would work?they screw in the bowl too,just don't adjust on top
I have an adjustable main jet kit for a Keihin butterfly-style carb. I believe that it has a standard 180 main jet, and has a mechanism to adjust the fuel flow down from that.
So it may be that yours just takes the largest jet available.

Was it the bolt that broke? The bolt that holds on the float bowl screws into what I call the 'main jet body' in this pic..........
