Brass bristle brush is ok but gentle contact. Don’t press hard.

You are welcome.Thanks, I'll do that!
Yes, one and the same. I haven't chimed in more, because every time I scroll up to look at the previous posts, my PC screen goes dark, a little box appears telling me that my graphics driver has stopped working and has recovered (a lie), then I have to completely reboot to get it to work again. No issue anywhere else on this forum, or anywhere else on the 'web. Weird.You are welcome.
Funny thing is I believe that Amboman, here on this site, is in fact Charlie Mullendore of Antietam Classic Cycle, who Greg mentions in the text.
I’m surprised he didn’t chime in but nevertheless, I’m glad I was able to relocate that from the back of my mind to share with you and others who might need it.
My friend Larry replaced his v700's SS1s with VHB 30s from an 850-T3. No jetting changes to the VHBs. Gas mileage went from the low 30s to the upper 40s, and throttle response was greatly improved. Even if SS1s don't leak, they rarely meter properly in my experience.Yes, Charlie is a great resource!
I'm going back through both carbs now, will do a better job this time around. I'll let you guys know how it goes when I've reinstalled them.
I am still curious about the SS1 carbs. I took them off becuase of reviews that said they might leak and start a hot engine on fire. I do think I solved the leaking problem on mine and I'm always wondering if I, at some point, might want to put them back on. The bike (and SS1s) have about 8,500 miles. Anybody have an opinion about them?
Thank you. So do I need the o-ring and washer even if these were not installed originally with the factory style mixture screw? They are required now because of the shorter tip?You need to have the washer and o-ring on the shaft of the idle mix screw.
Did you see the last page of the PDF? The shorter screw does use the washer and o-ring.Thank you. So do I need the o-ring and washer even if these were not installed originally with the factory style mixture screw? They are required now because of the shorter tip?
Yes ... thats what I thought at first. I am not sure if it will work If I add the o-ring/washer. That screw I posted is sold for VHB carbs but in reality it comes from the PHB series. It seems there is no 1:1 repop screw for VHB on the market... unfortunate for me now. PHBs are using the screw with ring and washer but I assume the inner contours of a VHB are different...VHB 29s and 30s as used on the Loopframe and Tonti Guzzis do not use an o-ring and backer washer - just the screw and the spring.
That is the correct screw. The same screw is used on PHF, PHM, PHBH, PHBE/PHB and PHBL carburetors.Yes ... thats what I thought at first. I am not sure if it will work If I add the o-ring/washer.

I mean I can give it a try but not sure if the carbs will run better or worse...
