carbs off intake

Post by Lorna c »

hey . top of the morning to you..
I've taken the carbs off the intake for the first time and I'm wondering what should I look for as far as something off or wrong .. I've taken some pictures and hopefully they're good enough for someone to look close and see if anything is missing anywhere or something ... also what to be mindful of or whatever I need to know about the two.. there's quite a few holes so I'm curious .. . pls and thanks

I'll take that as it's all good . got new gaskets and going back in ... they were loose leaking air so hopefully this will fix my idling issue

I would check to make sure that the gas hose under each one are still pliable.

Advanced carb cleaning is taking the bolt out of the fuel lid and cleaning or replacing the screen. Also to remove the fuel valve to check the condition and wear. Lots of tiny parts and pins so don't lose anything.
Look at the online parts manual first in the Wiki, to get an overview.
Always cut a new bowl gasket to seal.
Fuel bowl hose is in threads and Wiki I believe.
