- After adjusting the carbs on my 65BJ8 I'm finding the jets are both, equally whats looks to be a good 3/8ths below the bushing. Since the adjusting process starts off with leveling the jets with the

- That's too deep for sure. You are probably running rich. When you are lifting the piston to set mixture, how far are your lifting? I notice many people lift the pistons far too high (e.g. 1/8") , gi

- 3/8ths sounds a bit low when you consider that the normal starting point for adjusting the jets is one turn down. If you had to run the jets down 3/8" to get the mixture right I am surprised that the

- Sounds like you're not sure the carbs are actually adjusted. If you're sure the mixture is correct--and the fuel is below the top of the jets--then it's likely your float levels are too low. The nee

- Greg, the adjusting process starts with the jets flush with the carburetor bridge, but the next step is to screw in (clockwise) the jet adjusting screws 2-1/2 turns (which lowers the jet, enrichens t

- That is way to low. If everything is correct they should be approximatly 1/16 down from flush. Even with the choke pulled you will not get 3 / 8. Are you sure you are measuring it correctly. If so yo

- Thanks everyone for your thoughts and documentation on adjusting carbs. Yea, I forgot step 2, screw them down 2.5 turns which moves them lower to start with. I think I'm running a good mixture. The p
