Carbs strip down.

Trouble with WD 40 is it evaporates away, you really want something that leaves a lubricating film on the linkages, but is not sticky

Good luck

Back on track.

The owner cleaned up the carbs with gunk but most of the screws are stuck and the springs also so it's off to buy paraffin today. I have a feeling a dremel may come in handy to cut proper slots in the Phillips screws. I gave my impact screwdriver away with my bike so that is not an option. :cry:

A decent cross head and a toffee hammer.

Keep pressure on both down and twist and keep tapping..
Very rare that fails.

Thanks, John. I've got the butterflies working but three out of four slides are stiff and one needle is not moving. The clutch "actuator" had the fork broken but the clutch is super stiff and not actually separating the engine from the gearbox on replacement so I assume the plates are stuck and the stiffness is probably why the cast forks broke. The jobs pile up! :-0)

 

[Boggymarsh]

So a carb clean has manifested itself into a full bike refurb by the sound of it...enjoy! :-:

 

[Centaur]

You're right, Boggy.

Brake calipers will need to be done too. @tu*

 

[ianrobbo1]

You mean you've not finished that ten minute job yet??

 

[Centaur]

Like sex, Ian.

Pleasurable things are best not hurried. :wank:

 

[Centaur]

Carbs rebuilt.

Really needs new springs and diaphragms but should work OK. Next to see if I can remember where all the tubes go!

Aka I have no friends, life or interests, this has to last

 

[Centaur]

Sadly true, Me.

A good wank should never be hurried though. :-0)

 

[Centaur]

Back on track.

Carbs and airbox refitted. Tank next. @tu*

Does it run.... Any leakage?

 

[Centaur]

Steady on, Me.

I need to put the tank on to get fuel in the carbs first. LEAKS!!!! Wash your mouth out, boy! :-0)

 

[Me!]

Fill the bowls it'll fire or run an auxiliary tank. Brighten your morning by watching the leaks flow over the hot engine.









I can hear the cogs ..... Hmmm what's in the garage I can use as a tank

 

[Centaur]

Not my garage! @tu*

 

[Me!]

So what have you done with it today then?

 

[Centaur]

Nothing, Me. I spent the day enjoying other pursuits. :-:
