It's missing the jet holder.


Might be worth doing this mod too whilst your rebuilding the carb:

This is what I want to do, the only problem is I don't have the original part to copy.

Anyone have a spare one even if it's bust?

More bad shit!! *frown*

Thought it would be a good idea to re-torque the head whilst warm after running.

Set my torque wrench to 55ft pounds turned the nut a few turns and something wasn't right!!

My torque wrench didn't click off instead I snapped the head stud! Hufffffff

I had to de torque the head to get the stud out, now I'm in two minds to get a new gasket or not. I might of squished the metal rings on with it been a bk450.

What you guys think?
