Title: 2010 GV Pilot screw adjustment
Post by: Oldocrider on July 17, 2012, 12:48:45 AM

Hi guys.  Little things are starting to add up here. My GV idles pretty rough.  I'd like to adjust the pilot screw.  I can see where it is on the photo in the Service Manual but its impossible to see it in real life on the scoot.  I know where it is but without seeing it how do I even get a screwdriver on it?  It was running one notch over stop so I turned up the idle.  Now I'd like to see if an adjustment of the pilot screw would smooth it out a bit. Now I just noticed my water pump is seeping at the gasket. Bolts are tight. Will the fun ever stop!

Try using a mirror.

It's a lot easier just to remove the seat bucket and gain access to the entire engine compartment. 8 bolts and 2 wire connectors.
