Not sure if anyone has done this yet but I took some pictures of carb when I was doing my jet kit work.

Might be helpful to some here.


This is what carb looks like with the airbox off.

This is the screw that needs to be loosened to pull the carb off the manifold before doing jet work.

To get the bowl off the bottom of the carb this cotter pin needs to be removed.
Also remove the screws on bottom.

This is the bottom of carb with bowl removed, showing jet locations.

A/F screw location.
Behind the two rear screws at bottom of bowl.
This is after installing the long Glen's A/F knob.

I did not take picture of the vacuum chamber parts I think that is covered pretty well in the scar write up.

Nice job, well done. Now when I get glenns perm a/f adjuster I will know what to do

Thx man. That will help a lot of us who haven't been that far yet.

Is it possible to replace the a/f adjustment screw with the Glen's permanent one without removing the tank/air filter/carb. ? Is there anyway of adjusting it without taking it all apart?

I have never worked much on carbs and these pics are great. One thing is I see where guys are talking about installing spacers and clipping in a differant notch. Any pics of those would be appreciated.

Great job Indy!

What is the difference between the SCAR MOD and JET KIT Mods? I plan on doing the Decap and Clayton Mod so do I need to do both the SCAR and Jet? I am going to add Glens A/F tool as well. There are some great videos here;

You have to take the tank/air box off to install Glen's AF needle. After it is installed, you can adjust the AF just by bending over and turning the knob. If you don't have Glen's permanent needle, you have to use a long, blind adjustment tool. In my experience, virtually impossible to do.

Pretty much: No unless you have already replaced the airbox with something else that can be removed without taking off the tank. It is best to have everything off anyways so that you make sure you get all of the little parts out of there. (Trust me I know... I had a o-ring break up and thought I had it out completely on another bike but since I didn't take the carb completely out, I never saw the minuscule piece stuck up in there until I pulled the carbs and cleaned them several times then checked it and found it. It was a bitch to get out)

Finally - I can't believe it took 6 years before someone actually took decent views of the 13's Carb.
Man - we've waited forever for you to get Here....

Now for all of you that have this -
are you taking advantage of drain screw at least once a week to eliminate carb issues with water?

Back in Time when all of us had carbs - we always drained them - and some of us had 6 carbs (CBX) -
and always got water in saved samples.

With what I know now - I'd install 1/4 turn mini ball valve to do a quick drain to sample jar in 3 seconds.
If you all had your own single engine plane - you'd be doing this first thing as you walked up to it.

Actually forgot about this thread.

I have tank off now (coolant leak fixed) so might take pictures of the vacuum chamber.

Just need warm weather...I'm not working in the shed when it is < 35. lol

Remembered that I still had photos on PhotoBucket so deleted all that today and uploaded directly on here.
