'06 on Superjets, Brass plugs cover H & L needles? How about the 2008 SJ?

[Shifty]

I was bored and reading some past posts and someone said that their new 2006 SuperJet had brass plugs covering the high and low needles on the carbs? I am expecting my '08 soon and was wondering if they still employ this lame tamper proofing?


Thanks for reading,

yes..you can drill em out..

 

[monsterSJ]

its a must they are so frickin rich from the factory drill a hole in the caps then pry them out and get the t handle adjusters just did it to my buddies ski 06

Aw man, I don't want go to town on my new ski. I will be installing a primer in short order and will do it then I guess. So the adjustments are there beneath the plugs right, you know the regular old flat tip screwdriver headed needles.

yes, but you cannot get to them.

Yes, they are practically impossible to get to though with the carbs installed because they are recessed into the carb.

buy the t handle adjusters one you get the caps off

Looks like I will have to then as I plan on getting a B-Pipe in a few months. How much clearance is there between the cap to the needle, I dont have a drill press and I dont want to catch the adjuster with my drill bit and bottom it out. I do have a dent puller to aid in removal, I have read this is a good way to go about this. Do you think this would void the factor warranty? I doubt they would ever notice but I dont want to get screwed on that. I fugured I could remove the FP if something came up, but the caps may look phishy.

there isnt that much room but be carefull and youll be alright

I cut the end of the casting off with a dremel tool and cut of wheel, just deep enough to go under the cap but over the screw IMO it was less work than drilling them and pulling them out (tried that)

 

[monsterSJ]

i drilled and then used an easy out ond they came right out but your way would work too
havent tried that i couldnt believe how thick that cap was for what it is ya know

 

[yamanube]

I pulled the first one, then used that as a measurement for the rest, a fiber cutoff wheel made quick work of the casting.

Yes there are plugs pressed into the carbs.

Apperently there are brass plugs on the newer carbs that prevent you from tampering (adjusting) with the stock high and low needle settings. They have to be cut or pulled out to gain access to the adjustments. I only remember seeing the tiny little black caps that would cover the slot in the factory needles. Then again I have not seen a new ski in a while, but I will in about 5 days.

i am doing this tonight, can i just drill a small hole and easy out them?

 

[marz831]

I screwed a fine threaded self tapper in and then pryed them out by the head of the screw.
