I had an 80 Bonneville With Mark 2 carbs. I think understanding how they work is most important. Proper jetting makes all the difference. Reading plugs is one way. A light chocolate brown is what you are after. Needle and Seat is a bit complicated but with practice u will get there.

If you haven't got guitar strings lying around, I've cut a few inches from an old throttle cable and left about an inch of a single strand sticking out at one end. This is the perfect size for probing the pilot jet.

Try aluminum tip cleaners/files for cleaning our cutting torch tips. No damage to brass jets.

Yes, good call but generally more people have access to the strings. Plus I never seem to have any decent tip cleaners that small that haven't been wrecked, lol.

Air would get up there not fuel? 2:07

Fuel passes through there as it comes up from the bottom of the float bowl. Up to 1968 ish there was a replaceable jet threaded in there, then Amal went to a pressed in jet behind the air screw. The mixture screw uses bleed air from the intake to adjust the idle mixture. Clear as mud right??
