First of all I want to apologize for using Dissevered's pictures in this thread. I took my own but my memory card decided not to work with my pc.

Anyway. I am trying to clean my carbs the right way and not to cut any corners.

Here are my questions.

1. I have removed the float and the V shaped needle attached to the float. The needle looks clean and the rubber looks perfect shape. The seat is a little dirty. Should i spray carb cleaner there? What should i use to scrub in there. Is q-tip a good choice?

2. I removed a main jet, slow jet, and needle jet. They are soaking in carb cleaner. Is there any problems with it staying there for few days?

3. How should I clean the jet that is not removable?

5. How should I clean the holes that I removed the jets from? Again is q-tip a good choice?

6. After removing all the jets and the jet needle there is a hole that I assume I should clean. See picture. How should I clean this?


7. What are these for? How should I clean them?


8. I noticed that my throttle body is cracked open by the idle adjuster. Should I leave it this way or should i adjust it so it closes fully?

9. What else should I clean?

 

Soak the buggers in carb cleaner then spray them out with compressed air. spray compressed air into every hole in the carbs.

 

Q tips will leave strands of cotton if you are not careful. Do not use any abrasive materials to clean any of the parts. Wire can be used to clean out the no removable jets. Be very careful not to scratch anything and blow everything out with compressed air.
The adjustment of your throttle plates is very important to starting and idle. don't mess with them until you read some more posts about how adjust them.

 

Search.

 

Why even post if that's what your going to say. Obviously he could not find answers to his detailed questions.

 

Why did you waste everyones time posting that?

 

The answers are ALL OVER THIS SITE!!! And every other motorcycle site on the internet. Also there are micro fiches on no less than 5 different motorcycle parts websites that give detailed information with a parts blowout picture for these carbs.

There are so many requests for this information that it's pathetic and mind numbing. He didn't search, I can guarantee it. We get questions almost daily about this same issue.



EDIT: Here's a write up that I did about cleaning carbs...it could have been searched for....

I searched. I read. I learned a lot. But those are the questions I didn't see answered.

I was searching for F2 carb cleaning exclusively which might have been the problem.

 

Go have a smoke or something man, I dont think it effects your life if one more person asks about carb cleaning, and if it does you have bigger problems. If you dont have something productive to add to a thread, simple, dont reply. Threads like this is what keeps the site active.

Oh and I have NO IDEA how someone could miss a carb cleaning writeup thats in a thread about a Budget Race Bike Build.............Thats just mind boggling.

 

And boring...
