Hi yes you can go in too far and ruin the jet. You should only go in by about quarter of an inch. You can set the depth gauge on the drill to prevent it from going too far
Hi !! Thank you very much :) Question: Can you over do it when taping it in ? Do you have recommandation, suggestions to prevent it / me to over do it ? Also.. What size is the jet ? 45 ? Thanks
Hi, Yes you can go in too far. No more than quarter of an inch is safe. Put a depth stop on the drill, that will stop you going too far. Yes I think it was a 45 jet
@@RestorationBiker thanks for the rapide response. I was referring to when you push it back in. … So How to know the difference between tight fit against the walls ( keep pushing ) and to stop pushing because your at the bottom :)
@@TheCeruleanUtopianist Hi sorry I misunderstood you. When you are tapping it back into the carb, simply tap in gently as shown in the video. Once you have tapped it into the carb it will be held by the 'interference' fit. Just a light tap.
@@RestorationBiker Thanks for the reply. Have managed to get the first one out, so now I can see its exact make up. Can you remember if when you looked down the jet, it looks like it is sleeved 🤔, I suppose it could be just corrosion etc, but looks a tiny orifice.
@@martinowl Hi, yes I normally renew pilot jets because the orifice is so small, that it is sometimes very hard to clear them. Because (normally) they are very cheap (about £4 each) But, You can't get these ones as they are now 'unavailable' So, you have to remove them, and fully clear them. Take your time, and make sure you get them very clear.

@@RestorationBiker much appreciated !! 🙏
@@TheCeruleanUtopianist Hi, you are more than welcome. I have just checked the jet size, and yes, it is a 45
I’m just in the process of removing my pilot jets, how far into the jet would you say the screw/bolt went in?
Hi it should only go in by about a quarter of an inch as too far means it will be into the jet itself
