quite a nice discussion going on!

so, going to remove the float bowl covers with the carbs still attached to the bike, get those pilot jets out, give em a blast, wack some carb cleaner in the tank with new gas, stand back and hit the starter........fingers crossed!!!

The hardest part, sometimes, is getting the screws out. :P

Put a rag over the front cylinder as the screws want to hide between the fins. Many replace the screws with stainless Allen bolts.

I couldn't find stainless when I did mine...I did lube up the threads on some mild allen screws. Ddan was able to get them out when he put the carbs on hiss SS track bike.

You did not mention it but when you drained the float(s) did you check for water in the gas?  I would think it a more likely cause then recently serviced carbs.

sorry for the slow reply..... mad mad snow here in japan so have been doing a lot of snowboarding.... my other passion besides motorbikes and jazz!

anyway....fuel in the cylinders and she fired up!!!  so its deffo a carb issue.....

pew glad you were busy boarding not burning (kidz )... pics of snow / boarding / carbs and bike needed I think ... [popcorn]

Glad to hear got you started! ta da!  If I don't say so "me" self... I doooo get some credit ;D

If even for a brief moment; there is the fire of life in the beast; then there is hope. dn17  [Dolph]


... did you try the squirting of the holy carb cleaner? easiest route; less assembly required ...

Iv taken a couple of carbs apart and cleaned; but not a duc carb ... so I'll leave it to the wiser to debate

.... all the world is yours.
