Which Carb is the green dot? blue dot?
Carbs are being cleaned and re-jetted. The two carbs have stickers on them, one with a green sticker and one with a blue. Which carb is which? (blue=front?)

I should mention this topic is based on carbs pulled from a 2000 model 750.

News to me.
Don`t recall anyone mentioning them before, and have not seen any stickers on my carbs.
Maybe a previous wrench turner put them on to keep track of which carb parts went where.

Once again Roach comes through and has an existing video to make things even easier to understand. I am in the same spot as most others that have not heard of the green or blue dots on our carbs. It is good to know for future reference when purchasing or swapping.

Thanks, Roach.

but having to face the fact that this is a lifetime routine
going forward. Five operations done and it still continues.

Thanks for pointing it out roach. I have only watched that video once when it was first posted.
It is easy to miss things when you are not looking for them, eh.
Hmmm, where have I heard that before?
