Super Jet Jetworks T-Handle Screws, bottoming out.

[BrightE's]

I just installed 2 high and 2 low speed T-Handle screws from Jetworks into my stock 38's on my '04 RN, and the T-handle section of the screw is bottoming out on the aluminum carb housing before the screws seat fully. Thus I can't tell where 0 is and don't know how many rotations out I am when tuning.

Is the solution just to cut the surrounding aluminum off the housing or do I have a set out of spec T-Handle Screws?

I had to trim mine a little bit, the 'T' part was too long for me as well.

Had to trim my carbs as well.

Hack saw do the job?

My 38s came on my JM781, (I believe they were set up by Blue or Chris....) and they cut off the aluminum section to install the T-handles. It looked odd at first glance but then I realized why it was needed.

I'd plug the hole with something, lop the excess aluminum off and be on your way!

Good plan. Thanks guys.
