Well this was interesting. The results of parting a motorcycle for 3+ years in a garage. There were even two rotting mouse corpses! That was a nice touch.
Now comes the part where I disassemble the carburetors!
First, start with a nice adult beverage and some good music. My choice of music is Q-Dance Radio and choice of beverage is the classic screwdriver:
Next is to make sure you are working in a clean, organized environment:
Normally I work from the top to the bottom as I find it easier. I keep everything organized in the proper order it was removed in:
Next step is to flip the whole unit over and start pulling the bowls:
I have run into this problem before, one or two bowl screw won't come undone no matter how much PB Blaster and WD-40 I use. That's when the trusty Vice-Grips come out:
Viola:
Next I remove ALL of the jets. In this case, these carburetors just have main jets and pilot jets:
Jets should be clean and clear. I couldn't see through ANY of mine. Tomorrow I will do the actual cleaning and reassembly!
Until next time,
See you on the road!
