Re: 1984 virago 700 pilot jet help

Take a really small wire and run it through the pilot tube. There may be an obstruction that air won't remove. Then blow it out with some carb cleaner. The other thing you should check is to make sure the O ring is intact and on the pilot screw. Sometimes these fall off or come apart. Go to www.bikebandit.com and check the OEM parts list under carbs for your bike and you will see the part. New ones come with a K&L Carb rebuild kit. Make sure the pilot screws are set at 2 1/2 turns from a soft seat to start your adjustment.
