rvf carb service
hi guys i just changed my jets on my rvf and now i want to drill the slides useing a 2.5mm drill and put an extra washer 0.5mm on the needle but i can't figure it out how to take the needle off the slide
also i read somewere that its not recommended to drill the slides ?
also im following cammos diy guide and im not sure if i should adjust the pilot to two and a quarter turns out or 1 and 5/8th i think
my rvf is standard except i have a tyga carbon twin can full exhaust system
thanks alex

Re: rvf carb service
Well..
Don't do it. The drilling etc is for NC30 carbs only.
Stop fiddling dude...

Re: rvf carb service
well thats wot i thought but i couldnt figure out how to take the needle off the slider to put an extra washerDrunkn Munky wrote:For what its worth ive always found a extra 0.5mm washer and hrc slide springs work a treat on rvf carbs to sort out the midrange on engines with standard tune.
just re fitted the carbs and pannels and i forgot to turn the screw under the carbs that emptys the petrol out so i have to take the carbs off the bike again


will take the carbs off 2moro but it would be nice if there was some info about removing the needle
on the nc30 carbs theres a screw but i dont think there was a screw on mine

Re: rvf carb service
IIRC you remove the needle the same way as you do 30 carbs, philips screw driver inside the slide then twist. Im sure theres pics in the haynes manual. I always go up a jet size too if using a can or system. DONT drill the slides. 30 & 35 carbs are different beasts and using the 30 guide to mod your 35 carbs is going to end in tears.code2006 wrote:well thats wot i thought but i couldnt figure out how to take the needle off the slider to put an extra washerDrunkn Munky wrote:For what its worth ive always found a extra 0.5mm washer and hrc slide springs work a treat on rvf carbs to sort out the midrange on engines with standard tune.
