Jedihunter..
Thanks, i just came across the same info a few minutes earlier, thank you though. So i guess i do have all the original jets in the carb. I was trying to think if i cleaned out the Main jet, can't remember now. It's located below the top-half, of the carb? Took the bike out on a short ride today. Trying to get the carb settings adjusted. |

The main stack is under the air filter. I would pull them out and clean them just to know for sure.

Jedi, thanks. Yes I believe that's the Slow-Running and the Main. I will re-clean them again later. Overall, the bike runs well... i just find that if I'm coasting along and give more throttle, there is a slight "flat spot"?, and then continues to accelerate. In the flat spot, there is no bogging, or sputtering...if just feels like nothing is happening, then it picks up again.
I will reclean jets as i know there was a bit of stale gas in the tank when i refilled it. |

I have rebuilt a 180 SS a couple of years ago, and the following jets were used:

160(AC) BE3 (mixer) Where is the main at this point? Would you have a pic of where it is? Thanks Fab |

It is the pointed piece on the very bottom. You can pull it out of the mixer with some small pliers and a slight twist being carefully not to burr it up or contact the conical tip where the hole is. You should be able to make out the number stamped into it.
