3 down and one to go...
for those who have been following the story of my bike, you'll know it had a catastrophic engine failure ending in lots of tiny little bits of engine EVERYWHERE, apparently including inside one of the carbs!
Whats likely to be best? Bang some carb cleaner through it and clean it out best as possible and check the diaphragm isn't torn or anything?
what would people recommend.
Also still haven't changed any of the "emulsion tube" O-rings... mostly because I dont know what/where the emulsion tubes are! so any help on that would be nice!
Have taken lots of photos so far and will do a nice step by step write up of how to change the O-rings for future 1st timers like myself

Anyway pics of the debris inside the carb

if you have any debris in the carbs. i would be stripping them completely!!!
i mean completely!!!
last thing you want is the debris ending up in a fresh engine
