Gonna try to run the stock Hawk carb

Well with some encouragement from Jerry I decided to see what can be done with the PW30. I just ordered a 110 and 115 main using Dan's link to Jets R Us. $15 isn't bad but I'm surprised there was any shipping considering the 2 tiny jets can easily fit in an envelope.

Now on to the fun stuff. The bike didn't wanna run even when warmed up, and would only do so on half choke with the idle screw really turned up. I removed the plastic plug for the fuel mixture screw and IT WAS FULLY SEATED!! No wonder it didn't wanna run, it was having having pull off the needle valve to get anything. So I backed it out 1.5 turns and went on to the next step. It wasn't pretty but I used my dremel to slot the 3 bowl bolts and removed them. I didn't have a couple suitable washers for the needle and I think I'm gonna replace the 3 slotted screws with something better. I thought about slapping it back together but I'm just gonna wait for the jets to arrive in a couple days. Name: Screenshot_20190119-174418_Gmail.jpg
