First of all just got my v-force 3,s today - Only toke 3 days to ship form US to uk :D

Any way it all seems to be assembaled but theres another bit there that looks like it goes into the intake manafold where does it goo?:-/

Theres also 2 nuts and 2 washers where do they go?
_______________________________________________

When the reeds are fitted what size main JET should i use - FMF gold series pipe , powercore 2 , V-force 3 reeds and air box lid removed - its a standerd carb and hasnt been jetted yet.

If i want to clean my carb should i clean it in a bolw of petrol and brush?

Can i connect a tether kill switch straight into the the on-off switch wires and not use the standerd on off switch?

not sure about the nutts and washers. that little piece goes on the reed cage then into the intake boot but it probably won't fit I'll see if i can find ya a link to how to mod it to fit
 
If you're talking about the little funnel piece, then yeah you'll have to mod it like scot said.
I opened mine up a bit more though.

yes you can wire in a teather kill switch.

with those mods i would say you should be running between a 270 and 300. probably end up 280 or 290.

that would work but i would just spray it down real good with carb cleaner before unclamp it. then scrub it down. spray carb cleaner through all the circuts in the carb. be careful with the floats. might as well order a rebuild kit while you're there. just a little insurance and they are pretty cheap
