Idle screw
Mines plastic. I don't know much about it, but it doesn't appear like it would be very accurate. Is this pretty much standard equipment on most carburetors? Seems kinda cheesy to me.

Thats an air screw, it'll fit a non modded but won't have the same effect as it would on a modded carb

I think the RB screw is for the air/fuel mixture screw. I guess the plastic one works fine, it just SEEMS chintsy. When I first got the bike it wouldn't idle, and it took a good many turns to raise the idle up slightly to where it would stay running. I was of a mind that a metal one would be more precise...

It's stock I reckon. Seems to work ok.stringburner wrote:Ok, where'dja git it, and does it work better?Mine's not plastic
As the motor warms I have to adjust the idle up quite a bit and if I forget to adjust it back down before the next time I go riding it will idle SKY HIGH at start up

I assume it's plastic for the gripping force it has. It won't move unless you move it.

Good point Inda. I'm wondering if the spring wouldn't have the same effect in keeping it from vibrating out, but plastic would definitely be less prone to backing out than a clean set of threads on a metal screw. Apparently the metering of the idle screw isn't overly critical, or it would be a more precise setup.
