This is not my first time rebuilding carbs. However, it IS my first time rebuilding these carbs.
I've done plenty of CB550 and XS650 carbs and been into a few other racks of carbs, too.
I have a manual on order but it's not here yet. I've been reading up and here's what I know so far. Please fill in any blanks to make sure I don't make an expensive or stupid mistake.
-Re-use stock brass or only genuine brass if it needs replacing (learned that the hard way with the Hondas)
- There are left and right bits in the carbs that can't get mixed up. Bowls, slides and....what else?
-Be careful with the oil injectors/nozzles. Parts aren't available(?). Any tips on dealing with this part?
The bike runs well but one carb pees if I leave the gas on when it's not running. The gas is old and smells of varnish, too. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother messing with them.
What's the best way to sync them? I'll count the turns on all mixture screws, etc., and return them to the current position since it performs well otherwise.
What else should I know?
