I want to tweak my air/fuel mixture, however every place I look, nothing shows me where the air/fuel mixture screw is located.  I chatted with Sable a bit yesterday evening and I might know which screw to look for but.....

Please help me identify these three listed screws:





Screw #3 on the Right Side is just to the Right of the Float Bowl Over Flow Hoses.  Here is a better picture of Screw #3:

Screw #2 actually sits below and set back a little from Screw #3.  Oh and if you were wondering, these are 1982 Carbs.
Thanx,

Screw 1 left holds the venturi in the carb, it usually has a plastic cap over the end
Screw 2 right is the low speed air mixture
Screw 3 should be the float bowl drain screw.

PS are you sure about the directions?  I think you've got the sides of the carbs mixed up :p
Rider1>No wonder, the Daytona has very sharp steering and aggressive geometry.  It's a very difficult bike for a new rider.
Rider2>Well it has different geometry now.

LOL, You are right.  What do you expect at 3:30 AM....  Besides what are you doing up at this time in the morning?  Right should be Left and Left should be Right. 

Very Good Eyes.

So,... Screw #2 is the one I want to tinker with, correct?

Thanx,
Chris
