Tricky business these carbs!
Not sure if its because the manifold rubbers are hard as rock but I had some fun persuading them back in after a semi clean and check.
I found that attaching the rubbers to the carbs first worked better than with the rubbers on the manifolds. Is there a trick or advise somebody could share for future reference please. And yes.....the arrows are pointing in the right direction.
3 Pilot jets were blocked, otherwise they were surprisingly clean inside.
As said, this was a semi carb strip down just to get the bike started, full strip down and rebuild a bit later when the bike is almost ready to hit the track.
Forgot to take an after pic but here is a before
Must say I'm pretty impressed with the quality and the engineering of this bike.
Motor sounds nice too!!
