    Ok so here's the deal. I have the Qlink XF200 with Mikuni BST 28 carb. I am not a carb expert by any stretch.

    I went to change out the main jet but once I got the main jet off I couldn't get it back on because ethe threads were too far away to get the Main jet threaded back on with the washer.

    Well I finally figured out that I if I turn the needle jet so that the slot is in line with the peg in order to pull the needle jet down far enough to thread the jet back on with the washer in place.

    I don't know if this is the right way to get the Main Jet threads to reconnect up with the Needle Jet because now gas pours out of the carb when I turn the petcock on.

    The floats seem to be fine and is not stuck. I also noticed if I push in the needle jet back in and turn it and put the Main jet back in without the washer the carb no longer dumps gas but the bike doesn't run right that way. What the heck am I doing wrong here? Thanks!

    Did you buy the new jet on line or get it from a shop? I took my old one to a shop that sells Suzukis and told them I wanted a 125. I screwed out the old and screwed in the new and haven't had any problems.

    It was the same main that came with the bike. In any case my neighbor dropped by today and looked at it. So turning the needle jet to align with the pin so that I could thread the main jet was the ticket. But the float was out of kilter so we tweaked the float tongue and all appears to be well now. Thanks all!
