The pilot screws on an NC30's carbs :oops:

Got a haynes and the Service Manual but neither seems to make this very clear. Hints please! :D

Thanks in advance,

Cheers guys, must have had a blind moment.... :roll:

Annoyingly, one of the pilot screws has been overtightened or seized solid. Had to leave it :(

You will NEED to get that rectified matey, pilot screw set-up is essential to the proper running of the bikes fueling system.

The only reason I have chosen to leave it is that the bike ran before like this. The only reason I have chosen to mess around with it is Mr Rick told me to adjust the pilots.

Can replacement pilot screws be gotten hold of?

I would not be looking forward to drilling out something as small as that!

Lashings of WD40 and a gentle turn until it comes loose. It might well be crud filled threads but its best to free them up and set them as instructed by Rick.
