Blaster Need 61x/61x blaster carb specs

[tor*p*do]

Got a stock B-1 with a carb full of rust
I need to know the stock numbers for hi and lo jets
n&s size, spring, etc
to set up a new carb on this boat

 

[tor*p*do]

anyone?
Yamaha shows 115/115 while Riva shows 115/135 on their respective websites
probably 1.5 n&s and silver spring
help!

115/135 would be correct.
Not sure on N&S.
Start with 1.5 on both adjusters and work from there.

Thanks Matt_E, I have the rusty carb soaking in wd-40 but do not think it will come apart
this should help get me going

For taking a corroded carb apart, set a screw driver on the screw to be removed and hit the screw driver with a hammer a few times. This seems to break any corrosion between the threads and also seats the screw driver in those soft screws.

yeah, I tried that, but some screws are so stuck they are just stripping
may have been luck tonight after 24 hr soak

Nice, thanks!

yeah, I have one of those impact drivers
they really help you strip screw heads quickly if you are not careful!

Haha, I have done that a time or two myself with one, but I have also freed several stuck screws with it too...

if the heads completely strip you can drill them, once the pressure is off, you can unscrew them with your fingers.

I find they rethread more frequently than they ruin the threads
dont underestimate the usefullness of visegrips either....
wd-40 is goooooood
