Kat 1000 carb question

Post by katanatom » Sun Jun 09, 2013 12:06 pm

Just pulled the carbs off my kat, getting them properly cleaned as I'm not convinced I ever did the job properly!

Noticed on the left hand end there's a threaded hole, which implies it should have something screwed in there. Marked in this picture...

Anyone know whether there is something actually missing?

Cool! I've had the bike more than 20 years and never noticed until today!
