Ok,
I am sure that this has been posted here elsewhere but I couldn't find it.
I just googled "Keihin CV34 pilot screw" and got completely contradictory answers.
Could someone tell me if backing out the air pilot screw increases air or fuel?
Thanks!

Excellent! Thank you for the answer and link to your great writeup! Funny how you can google something and get completely opposite answers  |

General rule is if it is in front of the float bowel out is rich,if behind the float bowel,out is lean.  |

No worries man, take what you "learn" online googling with a grain of salt. Because most of the world is confused out there, you'd be surprised how many people on any given tech board; have never even touched a bike or whatever it is. They use google to become an expert without ever having done any of it; all they do is spread disinformation by being nothing more than an arm chair mechanic; it's people trying to be part of something when they are not actually involved in it, like fantasy football. These people grasp some theory of operation from online definitions, but have no applied knowledge. So in their written logic it will work backwards, because they have never actually turned a jet...just read about it. Using a little logic on how something works in relation to something else, you have used, when you run across conflicting information will help remove that confusion caused by such individuals. Like so: Think of a jet adjustment like a valve on a faucet. If you open up a WATER faucet are you increasing or decreasing the flow of water? If you open something, called an AIR screw, what do you think it is increasing? |

Is that like how the "choke" is really an "enricher"? |

If you choke someone it restricts their flow of fresh air...same concept with the naming convention when it comes to carburetors. |
