Well, I thought while I had my carb rack off it would be a good idea to see what my fuel screws were adjusted at. WRONG. They were all tight and when I finally broke one loose I found out that I actually broke it instead!!!! I thought I was racing my first radar run tomorrow morning, but maybe not. Is the tip still where it was before?? Can I still run it? Or is there a danger of sucking it in the motor? F#%k, this is just like my entire life goes, if something bad can happen it will. I spent a butt load on ice picks, transfer rods, jetting, and such just for tomorrow too.
 
Can you post a better picture? The fuel screws should not be hard to turn at all. They just have spring pressure and an o-ring that keeps them from turning. Maybe you removed something else? ===SRXSRULE===
 
It looks gold colored in the picture but fuel screws are stainless, also the threaded portion looks too long for a fuel scew. Not sure what you broke, or didnt break. ===SRXSRULE===
 
Ah...you broke the float bowl drain. Chances are you can screw it back in and be ok. Its a tappered hole so the broken piece cant go anywhere. Now....Dont take this the wrong way, but if you dont know what your doing, better to leave it alone. ===SRXSRULE===
 
Sorry, I was always under the impression that the idle adjust screw was that one. I've rebuilt motors and never had to mess with them. Main jets and needle adjustments I can do, but I guess I need to know where the fuel screw is. I know where the air screw is, but thats different, isn't it? I circled what I believe is the air screw. Or is the air screw and fuel screw one in the same?

Thats the Air Jet, a fixed orfice not adjustable. There are no air screws on these carbs. The fuel screws are on the bottom of the carbs and should be around 1.5 turns out on your 01 SRX. I think I have a picture somewhere. ===SRXSRULE===
 
You dont need to remove the bowl. Its right next to the bowl, small head flat blade screwdriver is needed, the small screw is slightly countersunk into the carbs. ===SRXSRULE===
 
honestly I am not trying to sound mean, but you really need to spend the 45 dollars and get yourself a service manual. this will save you a lot of grief.
Good luck
 
it is on the out side of the bottom of the float bowl. I look for a pic. there will be the 4 screws to take the bowls off, and then there is a bigger screw, turn it in till it is lightly seated, then turn out 1.5 turns. Maxdlx
