i started taking the carbs off today but im stuck at the rubber boots i can not get them off is there a trick to it i loosened the 4 lower screws but it just isant coming up???

 

Push down, pull up, push down, pull up, etc. If they haven't been off before it will take some muscle. Maybe a soft pry bar, dont break nothing. Dont get the cables mixed up when you finally get those seperated from the carbs also. Have fun. Also be careful not to pull the bike over tugging on those carbs. I almost did that one time.

 

That's a common problem, those things can be on tight. Like Frank said, it's just muscle and working them off. There's a number of other threads that have addressed the same things and you'll find a few tips on general carb cleaning too, like this one...

I use a medium pry bar on the side lips of the carbs against the frame. Piece of cardboard for no marring underneath the bar against the frame. Do one side, then switch to the otherside and repeat, soon enough viola.

 

got them out with the help of a crowbar! thank you everyone

 

as im going threw the carbs they look pretty clean to me not a lot of buildup at all so i dont think that is the problem

 

didnt work it rode for 5 minutes and then just died out

 

yeah no change the bike wont start unless i have the chock on and then it slowly dies out

 

A few posts have already mentioned that this sounds like a fuel starvation problem and recommended checking the petcock and vacuum line. Did you do that? With the tank disconnected from the bike no fuel should flow out, with the petcock in the ON position, unless vacuum is applied through the small black hose line that connects the petcock to cylinder one on the engine block. Check the petcock is working properly first and that fuel is flowing properly from the tank. That will eliminate one potential problem source.

Did you actually clean the carbs as you went through them, or just inspect them? Even if they look clean, the small channels can still be blocked and it would be hard to tell.

Is your air filter in good shape? Make sure you are not starving the bike of air.

 

it might be the vacuum line i think, i am going to replace the tubes and see, and for the carbs yeah i cleaned the float bowls and sprayed carb cleaner down all the holes in the pilot screws and others next to it. and yeah it looked to be in pretty good shape when i took it put.
