i am wanting to remove the secondary jets on my 1406 to see what size they are. i pulled the air horn assembly off and the "air valve" plates off. but i am unable to find the secondary jets. also once i find them, how do i take them out? do they just unscrew?

 

If you can't find the jets and you have the carb apart, that is not good. They are very obvious w/ the cover off. They just screw in the float bowls, 2x primary 2x secondary. Take a pic and post it

 

they're on the rear of the carb almost in the corners (nearest to the windshield side)flat head is all you need to remove.

this is a picture i took a while ago before i cleaned it. if someone could circle where they are, and also where the primaries are also. it is kind of a big picture.

 

that carb looks like it went through a war, DAMN!!!

secondaries are on the bottom of the pic, primaries on the top

those metal "walls" are over the rear secondaries, just grab them with a pair of plies and pull them out to get to them, they may be a little tough

 

wow that helps out a lot!!! and there are numbers stamped into the jets correct?

 

yes there are, but with the looks of everything else, you may not be able to read them. I cannot stress this enough BE VERY CAREFUL when removing the jets, they are just brass(very soft). The secondary jets on my old 1406, brand new out of the box, were so tight i needed a manual impact driver to get them out, and even then i destroyed them
