Anyone Remove The Idle Mix Adj. Cap with the Carb Still on the Bike?

[badbs101]

I want to access the idle mixture adjustment screw but the cap is still on the carb. Is there a way to remove the cap and access the screw without removing the carb? It looks like it can be done. Anyone have any tips? Thanks, Barry 2006 Sportster XL1200C

yes get yourself a small drill and a drill stop for it,then drill plug. 1/8 drill and stop.

REPEAT do NOT drill without stop on drill or you will mess up mixture screw big time.
then insert a screw in plug and pop that baby out of there,just remember the factory numbers of turn on mixture screw.
good luck

I drilled mine out without removing the carb.I just wiggled the carb off the intake manifold.Then flipped the carb and drilled the cap off.When I drilled the cap it actually caught and started to spin.The cap just about fell off.I didn't even come close to hitting the screw.
