How do I get the carbs off?
Hey guys,
I've petrol dribbling from the overflow on my front Carb. Either stuck float or leaky valve I guess. Tried carb cleaner and tapping it. No good. Next step is get the carbs out and have a look. Ran out of time this morning. Tank and airbox are off, then what fairings I'd say. Then to the carbs, how are they fixed. Any one want a curvy with a dodgy carb? |

Re: How do I get the carbs off.
To get my carbs off I had to tap around the clips on the intake rubbers, get a pair of molegrips on the threaded section of the bolt, and undo them from the rear as the head was ****ed. I unmounted the radiator from the frame, and moved the expansion bottle out of the way IIRC.
I'll take the curvy, if it's going free |

Re: How do I get the carbs off.
So they're only attached by the rubbers. With jubilee clips.

Re: How do I get the carbs off.
rather worryingly, i just pulled mine off without even undoing the jubilee clips, once there off there then undo the throttle cable and choke cable and iirc. thats it.

Re: How do I get the carbs off.
Had mine off a few weeks ago to do choke plungers and was very easy to do and somthing i had never attempted to do before. Jubilee clips have phillips screw head or at least they did on mine.

Re: How do I get the carbs off?
Cheers GeoDude.....err I think I must have been refitting them when you posted this lol.
carbs all good now. However.......the throtle cables seem a bit tight and don't return very well. Can't see anything twisted or snagged? ps. love your workshop. Last edited by BigBaddad; 31-03-10 at 10:27 AM. |
