What about for the climate carbs on the venture 600. Is it the same?

??? Is that the system with the TPS and other electronics? I would think they would be the same but I've never actually seen one or looked at the parts fiche. What year and model and I'll see if I can find something.

Temperature compensating I believe is what it says on the engine.
It would appear to be in the same location according to the parts fiche for a 97
Venture 600.

Took off carbs. all jets are stock and nice and clean .
fuel screws were clean ,holes were clean . (must be the shell V Power)
but were not even.
left side was 1 and 1/2 turns,and right was 2 turns .........HHHHuuuuuummmmmm.
I wonder if that had somthing to due with the fact that before I did the top end rebuild right side had 120 psi and the left side had 80 psi and very rough condition.
glad I checked and cleaned and reset both to 2 full turns .....
Looks like I may have dodged a bullet on this one ...

cant really tell if the floats are set correctley

I thought I read last year that it was 1-1/2 turns out. But then again that may have been for my Venture. I will have to check it all out again this fall. Its quite windy and very cool with the hint of Winter in the air.
The fuel screw circuit is really only idle to 1/4 throttle max. It's unlikely to cause you serious burn down type issues, mostly idling and bogging off the bottom issues.

Hi for the temperature compensating carbs make sure you clean the jets located inside the overflow lines these usually plug and can cause your jetting to be off.

Many people are not aware that they are there.

Cleaning these.
How to get a them? Maybe that is affecting my top speed with gas overflow not closing properly when its all need to push me along.
This should have been cleaned by the dealer when I bought this used three years ago now. I don't know if anyone uses carb cleaner in the gas on these or not. EG Lucas or such.
