I wanted to take apart my carburetor for my 99 cbr 600 f4 and give the old spit 'n' shine but when I unscrewed the flow bowls I noticed that they were glued on or jb welded on. I'm not sure exactly but I'll include some pictures. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I can't afford a new on cus they're about $200 and my budget is maxed out on other parts. Is there a way to clean it with out taking off the flow bowls?

 

Unfortunately not. That's where your jets are housed. You will need to crack them apart.

 

I looked on Cheapcycleparts.com and the are running a little a hundred for a set of four for your bike. Something that a lot of us do is go out on ebay or the like and purchase an entire carb set for your bike. That way you will have lots of extra parts and you can usually get an entire set for way cheaper than if you buy individual new parts. But of course, buyer beware with anything used.

 

Ok thanks for the link 👍. I saw a new carb on eBay in good condition might just go with that.
