Title: easy to adjust air screw for air striker carb?
Post by: coblefutch on January 22, 2011, 11:16:32 AM

Does any one make a longer air screw with a knurled knob on it similar to what you see on 4 stroke carbs for the adjustable fuel screw.
this would make tuning so much easier if you didn't have to try and find the slot with a small screwdriver while wacking the throttle
especialy with 46 yo eyes.

Not that I'm aware of due to the easy access.I can appreciate the eye issue though :(

..though you appear to have to let him mod your carb in order to buy it.Oh well.

I'd just remove it and find a washer or something (or slot screwdriver bit)that fits the groove tightly, grind it down and jbweld it in.If it holds great-if not,it wouldn't harm anything and you'd just be back where you started.

Thanks for the response, I don't want to pay that guy 160 bucks just so I can get his fancy screw. guess I will attempt to make my own.

sweet I wonder if it comes in red. But honestly I have never needed to readjust mine. I leaned out my pilot one size when I got the bike, slight adjustment, New FMF pipe=no changes required. higher altitude, cold weather, hot weather, racegas 104, 87, havent touched it.

This is one I made for my AirStriker carb last year.  I already had the SS cable and brass, so it only cost me time. You can't see it, but I made a notch in the end so I can see where it is set.  And despite the brass end being smooth, I've never had any problems turning the screw with my gloves on.

I originally made one completely from brass, but it didn't have the external spring like the RB screw.  It was too heavy and without the tension/support of an external spring, it moved around too much as you turned it out.

The SS cable is light and flexes if you hit or knock it.

I have a KDX too, an '85 200, paid $300 for it about a year ago and have had a ball on it. I'll get some pics of it to post.

Nice job Ted.The problem with any of those set-ups as I see it would be due to the A.H. Buddies I ride with.Most would love to see something like that so they could fiddle it-or take it right out when you weren't looking >:(Of course,I'd do the same :-[

I have a mate the same ford.
Every time he see's something new and shiny he has to touch it.
Like a bloody magpie.

Good job Ted. I might have to make one for my bike.
Just need to keep away the magpie. ;)
