moved and bumped

 

it's overnight if you're doing a full tear down and soak

 

It's quite a long job, you might need to stop halfway through to order spare parts, you may have to drill blanks out..and you should not attempt it without a service manual...

It's not easy to remove the carbs..it's even harder to replace them and you don't really want to do it twice because you forgot something..

Also you might want to replace the fuel filter before you start so that you don't have to do it all again next month.

Thanks for the move! Wasnt quite on my third noob thread yet. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I just finished doing it for the first time. If you're careful and meticulous it isn't hard. Keep track of your parts and, as mentioned above, a manual is awesome. There are things that aren't obvious at first glance that you need to watch for. Overall I had fun and learned a LOT.




edit: *isn't* hard. Oops.

 

I just did this myself, and my bike still runs!!! It was a real sunovabich to get the carbs off from the intakes. and, well, I don't really have any advice except to make sure the band screws are loose and use a lot of force. Other than that, it was easy.

Don't separate the carbs. and do one side at a time, so things don't get mixed up.

Good luck!
