I re-jetted my T-100 with the carbs on the bike
and, while it was a bit challenging, it worked out fine. Those little screws are apparently torqued from the factory at approximately 200,000 ft/lbs and by using a 1/4" drive ratchet, 1/4" socket and a new Phillips tip I was able to break them loose using a combination of up-force and rotational effort.
Nothing quite as satisfying as hearing that little "snick" of the screw breaking loose and seeing it remain intact.
I did have a short period of drama in removing the mainjets as the main jet holder came out with them. These were only torqued to about 150,000 ft/lbs and nobody told me that removing the main jet holder would allow the "collar" to fall out as well.
This little piece is asymmetrical and I couldn't find a clear reference as to which way it went back in. (Only a warning someplace that if you get it backwards, it'll leak like crazy).
Fortunately, I was able to mine the wisdom of a frequent poster here and get it in correctly. Upon disassembly of the other carb, I verified the position of the collar and now smugly felt as if I had learned something of value.
I'm sure this is "common sense" to the experienced bike mechanic, but the collar goes in with the countersunk machining towards the needle (up).
I would have never attempted this without reading all of your contributions / opinions and thank you all for sharing your experiences and tips.
Did my first oil change yesterday and found the drain pan wouldn't fit and the lift obscured wrench clearance. Placed a 2" paver under the rear wheel and shimmed the side stand with a 2x6 to gain sufficent room.
Hope this helps someone else.
