Carb Cleaning
Hello there, long time no post! Just a quick one!
I've just taken the carbs off my bike to clean after having running problems, and basically its been standing since xmas. Any recommendations on where to get a good seal/service kit for the carbs? Cant seem to see any on ebay, though I have on a few sites, thought best to ask those in the know! Cheers Last edited by MacDaddySV; 02-07-11 at 08:50 AM. |

Re: Carb Cleaning
I took my time taking them (carbs) apart, seals didn't look too bad, so re-used them after cleaning - there was some jelly/gunk clogging around the base of the main jet.
I also took the fuel tank and pump off for a clean to be sure - and later put an inline filter between the two. Bike's fine now - though it could do with a slight carb sync I think! |
