    Kirmit - If you unscrew one of your main jets, and pull the washer out, you will be looking directly at the end of an emulsion tube. They're about 1.5" long, and maybe 1/4" in diameter. The slide needles come down inside them. If you look in the throat of a carb, you should be able to see a little round brass thing about the middle of the carb. That's the other end of the tube. Without taking them out that's about all you can see - the ends.
    I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

      Upper right of this picture...



      shows the emulsion tube laying beside the slide diaphram with the needle valve on the bottom. The end on the right is what you see from the top or diaphram side, the large end is the bottom. That end is what your main jet screws into.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
