Help cleaning carbs.

[Origin]

Having never done it before Im not sure I want to do it alone. If there is anyone that wouldnt mind helping me out it would be much appreciated. Unfortunately I have no way of transporting this bike right now

i just cleaned the carbs for the scooter but i have never done motorcycle carbs. i would be more than willing to help though. can't imagine they are that different. i have no experience with sync though. you are selling that bike anyways right?

TJ, if they're still not done after the classic, let me know. I'll come over & walk ya through it.

Motorcycle carbs are probably the easiest out there to do (as far as cleaning).
Free advice:
- Get a brand new quality #2 philips screwdriver. Most of the bowls are held on with Japanese standard bolts that are just slightly different then a #2 (a used one can strip the heads easier). Don't put stripped bolts back in - you'll just piss off the next guy. Replace them with allen heads.
- Mark all of the lines, cables, take pictures, etc.
- Take the bowls off one at a time. Some bikes have different jets in the center carbs. Taking them one at a time keeps you from mixing them up.
- Before taking an air screw (or similar) out. Count the number of turns it takes to tighten it all the way (gently). WRITE THIS DOWN... This gives you a really good chance of getting everything back to stock conditions.
