| Symptom | Common Forum Advice | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Hesitation at 1/4 throttle | "Turn the PAS to 4 turns." | Wrong. Replace the pilot jet (#40) and set PAS to 2.5 turns. 4 turns means the pilot jet is clogged. | | Backfire on decel | "You have a header leak." | Check the mixture screw O-ring. If it is flat or missing, you have an unmetered air leak. Replace the O-ring (Part # 13373-43580). | | Slide won't rise | "Buy a stronger spring." | Check the diaphragm vent hole. On the air filter side of the carb, there is a tiny 1mm passage. If clogged, the slide cannot sense vacuum. Blow it out with compressed air. | | Rich idle, black smoke | "Lower the needle clip." | Check the float needle seat. The BS26 has a removable seat with a built-in filter screen. If the screen is torn, debris holds the needle open. Inspect with a bright light. | mikuni bs26 carburetor manual verified
