Carb repair idle problem jets interchanged

gzvirgin · 02-13-2017, 12:49 PM

Just bought a 2007 GZ with 800 miles on it for $1,100. Not a bad deal I thought, until I got it home and it wouldn't idle when warm. Starts perfect, but once warm it would NOT IDLE. I rebuilt the carb, new everything (not just the gaskets, etc). Same problem. Tinkered with everything, took that carb out and put it back in a dozen times. Then I read that the Main Jet and the Pilot Air Jet are the two that control the idle mixture. I went back to the parts diagram and discovered that I had interchanged these two jets (they fit in both holes). I wasn't reading the parts diagram correctly - 30 goes into the side of the carb and 28 is under the diaphragm. Anyway, thought I might save someone some time by posting this. Oh - and I'm new to the forum.
Thanks.
