Re: 3w 106 carb acces
If you're using standard muffs, you might wanna shorten the needles a bit since they almost touch the mufflers and make it a pain to adjust with the cowling on.

Re: 3w 106 carb acces
Other than that, you drill a hole in the cowl so the needles can be reached with a long screwdriver.

Re: 3w 106 carb acces
What I did to access the needles on my 106 is this..
Called up a friend of mine who can weld on Alum. Mark out where it needs to be cut, and piece in some alum, and FINITO!!!!! Done deal neal!!!!! I didn't shorten my needles any. Just make bit of room on the muffler for them!!!  Then what I did when the cowl is on, I drilled about a 1/4" hole in the side of the cowl for my screwdriver. Chris~

Re: 3w 106 carb acces
Chris, does that affect the performance of the engine at all, one cylinder having less expansion in the exhaust then the other? If it doesn't it is a really sweet way of reaching the needles!

Re: 3w 106 carb acces
I can't tell any difference!!!!!!! It is really easy, plus you don't have to use a hammer on those mufflers to clear for the needles!!!!
