Reseating Carbies.. OMG!

Post by callboy » Sat Aug 11, 2012 3:23 am

anyone got a good trick too this, its killing me, i can either get the front 2 cylinders lined up, or the right 2 lined up, but not all 4! :?

new rubbers might have been a good idea im thinking, but im in australia and the 3 weeks postage for these parts is killing me too! :(

Get the front two in first, then push forward and down at the same time on the rear of the carbs. It's still always a real bitch to get them back in (mine had me sweating and swearing last time).

yeah was gonna say, push down the front ones first... (front when your on the bike) till its in, and the rear ones is simple, get a flat head screw driver, lever out the top rubber and push it in till the lip on the carb goes in by 1-2mm... then repeat for the other carb. then push in with a big force, then *pop* and its in ;)
