RE: [Honda-C70] Re: '81 carb press fit slow jet depth

John : No pull the jet out of the carb . Press fit doesn`t mean the jet is mashed in & can`t be removed . It just means that there are no threads . Pop it out with a little help from pliers & back in with a light tap of the handle of a screw driver so as not to force or distort the jet. Baby Huey

Just to clarify, by "the other end" you mean until it passes through the carb body and emerges through the tiny hole visible looking down the shaft where the slide/needle assembly would normally rest?

> Hi- I'm John from Wilmington, Delaware and somewhat new to the group (although I've spent the last month studying all of the great resources available here). Since this is my first post I thought I'd briefly introduce myself. I'm a computer scientist with minimal mechanical experience (which recently changed),and about a month ago decided I wanted to drive a vintage looking scooter. By chance I found one for $100 and you guessed it, it was a 1981 c70 passport. I won't go into too many details, but I fell in love during the restoration project and now also sprung on a 1982. So hi, and thanks for all the great resources. My question:
