I have probably confused everyone with my dumass description of the problem. I am calling the screw a "pilot screw" when it is actually the...
Well......I said that part of the screw might be in there in jest........but......there IS something in there, can't really see what it is. Looks...
Strangely enough, it runs great . It is difficult to see all the way into the pilot screw hole on # 3 as there is no direct line of sight to it....
Got back from FL a few days ago, rode the VF every day for two weeks, big fun. Developed a problem though. Last couple of days of riding, the idle...
