The jets in my bathtub won't work! They won't turn on! PLZ HELP!!!!
The threaded knob should not be related to the problem, it just controls how much air gets mixed into the water jets. One possibility is that the electricity is off. These tubs should receive power through a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) type of circuit breaker for your protection from electrical shock. Check your circuit breaker panel(s) for a breaker with a little square white or yellow "test" button. Refer to the label (if it is there) to see if it refers to "tub" or "spa" or "bath" or something like that. You may have to turn the breaker handle off (push extra hard to make it reset) and then back on again. If the breaker handle is in the "on" position and the "test" button does not "trip it off," call an electrician. If no luck there, check the bathroom for an electrical outlet with GFCI protection, again looking for white or yellow (or red) buttons - one should be engraved "test" and the other "reset" as the electrician (I hope it was an electrician) may have supplied the tub from this outlet (not actually up to code). Plug an appliance or light into the outlet. If it doesn't work, push the reset button on the outlet and test again. If working, now test the spa. If that doesn't work, test every other GFCI outlet you can find - in the kitchen, other baths, garage, outdoors, basement, etc. using the same testing procedure. If you find a GFCI breaker or outlet "tripped" that restores the tub, that indicates there is something wrong with your electrical system that could cause you to get electrocuted, and requires that you hire a qualified electrician to investigate the problem. The same is true for any GFCI outlet that does not "trip" and/or "reset." If this doesn't fix the tub, the problem may not be electrical but some other problem with the system, indicating a plumber or spa tech may need to be consulted. Note: these GFCI breakers and outlets are supposed to be tested and reset once every month. How many of us do that? Well, at least as often as we test our smoke detectors, I suppose.
Thank you so much! This helped a lot. All I needed to do was press the reset button and do all those steps and it started to work, thank you so much!
Please remember if the spa quits working again to consult with an electrician as it indicates there is an underlying problem that could cause an electrocution - yours!
Thanks a ton!!! It was the GFCI treset button on the outlet in the bathroom causing the issue. :))

SOURCE: changing carb jets
the main jets just unscrew out use a socket if you can but dont over tighten when refitting.undo the 4 screws holding the carb bowl on and the jets are straight in view.

When removing the pilot jet screw, count the number of turns to remove. Put the screw back the same number of turns then unscrew 1/4 turn.
A “very helpful” rating on this answer? Thanks!
SOURCE: Hello, The nighthawk 750 1993,
thats a sensitive procedure usually for pros--the float level and valves may need ajust too--buy a clymer manual for total details------------too rich or to lean can damage engine
SOURCE: 2001 V Star 1100 won't
Can you try and start it but using your hand to cover the carb while trying to start it and let me know if it will start that way?
SOURCE: I have a 2004 VTX
Yes the air fuel mixture screw should be open at least 3 full turns
Especially if you use the big jet and lowered the needle clip position to the fouth from the top groove as instructed with the clip
i've installed several jet kits, and usually its 2 or 2 1/2 or 3 turns out on the air/fuel mixture screw.
Your not missing anything.
Best Regards
Big Al
