Here's what you're looking at: The Carburettor is on the kickstart side of the Vino. Through the process you'll be thinking, "so close, yet so very far away." In typical Japanese bike fashion, everything has to come off.

The first step on the Journey is to take off the belly plate. it's held on by two screws under the seat...

and one on the panel itself.

Pull the plate away and put it somewhere safe. Underneath the plate are a collection of wires and the battery compartment.

Undo the two air filter box bolts located near the kickstart.

Unhook the wire junction box by turning a screwdriver in the plastic screw, it will pull away and make it easier to get the floorboards off.

Undo this one...

and this one

Pull the little plastic cover off this one..

and unscrew it...

Then remove this one, and pull away the panel. Repeat the same procedure for the engine oil side panel. Yes, they both have to come off.

Once you have both cowls removed, undo the four 10mm bolts on the floorboards.

The floorboard pulls away from the headset and toward the seat. once the floorboard is out of the way, you'll have pretty good access to the carb and motor components.

The connector beside the relay box is the autochoke connector and you have to remove it so it doesn't get damaged. Just press down on the top of the connector and pull it apart.

Looking right below the wiring junction box, there's a relay. The relay will get in the way of unscrewing the carb clamp. Just pull the relay towards you, and it will slip off it's mount.

Now you'll have to get the air filter box off the carb. To do that, squeeze the little ring together and push it onto the air box hose.

With the clip slid back, you can pull the lip of the hose off and expose the carburettor's throat.

Just a reminder to make sure you disconnected the choke wiring.

Now you need to unscrew this screw. it has a lot of turns and it holds the carb to the motor. loosen it and pull the carb free from the motor.. it may take some persuasion (wiggling, swearing, pulling, lots of swearing).

now the carb is free, you have to pull off the float bowl. to do that, undo the two screws on the bottom of the carb body. If you don't like being covered in gas, I would suggest using some gloves for this process..

This is the float bowl.. it's like a gas reservoir, so no matter how you ride, the gas won't cut out on you. as you can see, it stores a quantity of gas, which you should probably dump out. this bowl should not have any contaminants in it.. if it does, you may want to replace the fuel filter.

The main jet, the one you have to replace is on the bottom of the carb and unscrews with a flat head screwdriver.

My jet was a 64. I found that 4 steps bigger worked best. I chose a 68 Jet and popped it in. This jet will only affect the mixture at high revs and has very little effect at low revs.

Here's another shot of the inside of the carb.

The air box is easiest to work on while it's not connected to the carb. it is held together with 3 philips head screws.

Under the cover is the filter element, a piece of foam, lubricated with filter oil. If the element is dirty (discolored), replace the element or clean it in carb cleaner (or gas if you don't mind the smell). buy some filter oil from a bike shop to keep the filter from tearing, inducing water, or getting really dirty.

The element just pulls away by hand. there's no stiffener like in a car filter.

Put everything back together as far as step 14. Start the bike and take it for a 3 minute ride to warm it up. Bring it home and park it, but don't turn it off. If it doesn't idle fast enough (stalls), turn the idle set screw clockwise to increase the speed. Once you get a reliable idle, put the body panels back on and ride away for that beverage that you deserve.
