The MOST important part of cleaning carbs is completely NOT here. You have to take out the jets (all of them) and insure they are whistle clean. Main jet, pilot/starter jet, etc....ESPECIALLY the pilot/starter jet. It has the smallest orifice and will gum up fast. Makes bike impossible to start and/or keep running on idle without choke. There is way more to this than pulling the float off and cleaning the bowl !!!

I made a nice little addition on this in the bottom of page one. It IS the most important step so i couldnt figure out why it was skipped.

As for the post above they only really need to be cleaned when your bike is running like shiat. Either studdering, having problems idleing...etc. The main cause of low rpm, or idleing problems is the idle, or pilot jet which is a fairly easy task to complete. Before you go ripping things apart, if your bike runs, try some carb cleaner in the gas tank. I cleaned my jets last season, and this season the low rpm was a little gugrly, after about 50 miles of running with carb cleaner it was good. Just some congestion in the idle jets most likely.

Mine was pretty saturated with fuel aslo. Since it's my first time doing this im not sure if it's normal or not, but it does'nt seem like it should be normal.

it seems everyone is avoiding this sync question...I''M assuming its not a big deal since nobody mentioned it...this write up kinda sucks, in the clymer manual it say''s not to turn the carb''s upside down as this can cause damage to the vaccum chambers, he diddnt go over what he used to clean it, did you use carb cleaner and paper towels??? how did you clean the excess carb cleaner out of the carb bodies? If carb cleaner will eat the rubber diaphram, then wouldnt you have to take all four carbs apart clean them...get the carb cleaner out of them completely then put it back together? because if you look in the carb''s you can see that they are not separate, and share a lot of fluid''s. Do you have to pull the choke rail off? of course you do because three of the vaccum chambers wont come off with it on. Lots and lots of unanswered questions.......
