Carb Rebuild From Scratch....

[wraithen]

Ok guys, I'm in need of some serious assistance. Apparently I need to split my carbs and replace all the O-rings in them. So, how hard exactly is that job to accomplish on limited carb knowledge? I'm ordering the O-ring kits right now and looking for any kind of step by step process on how to get this done without screwing myself. I called a shop and the one that can do it for a really damn good price can't do it until this winter... um.. ya that's not gonna work. and the other one charges 130 an hour on this year of bike.. um.. holy shiat. I have a manual but's it doesn't go into something this indepth. not cool. so anyone done this before? thanks.

For starters you might not need to replace all your Gaskets my bike set for 20 years and i just pulled the carbon off opend the bowels remove needle and seat cleaned out the jets and all the krud make sure to really look at your float and get it good and clean, blow through all the holes put it back together and it runs great. Hope you have good luck with yours let me know if this helps Bill

i cleaned them out really good and did all of that and i got the bike running just fine. i just have the leak now and it keeps getting worse. so.. i need to replace the orings on the fuel line that connects all 4 carbs which means splitting them apart which im seriously not looking forward to. not good not good.

It could have been a lot worse - imagine having to pull them all off and do another rebuild and soak thrm overnight to get them super clean. Once you replace that O ring there shouldnt be any more leeks unless you have overlooked something. Normally under good circumstances those carbs are relativley maintenance free

well i hope you have good luck with that , try not to adjust any car by itself they are very hard to get back in sink . Good Luck.
