Just wondering what the proper procedure is for removing the needle jets out of this carb.

Thanks-

Remove diaphram and needle, then unscrew the main jet. If it's not varsolled in, the needle jet will slide out, if not use something soft like a stick or stiff plastic to push it up, from the main jet hole. The main jet is what holds it down. When reinstalling there is a pin, a slot in the needle jet slides onto.

Okay. It seemed a little tight, just wanted to make sure I understood how it was assembled before trying to take it apart. Thanks for the information.

Best to soak it with some carb cleaner and then use a piece of dowel and a small hammer to remove it. I just got done cleaning a set on my bike and it is very easy to strip the heads on some of the jets/airscrews. Best to take your time and make sure you have good fitting screwdrivers.
