Carb flooding

<< < (2/2)

JezzaPeach:
I can get the bowls off in situ using a torx right angle handle with a long screwdriver tip in it.
Used carb cleaning kits off eBay. One is little brushes and the other is tiny abrasive wires.

Nurse Julie:
Don't stick anything like brushes or little rasps through jets, it ruins the inside of the jets and upsets everything. Soak jets in carb cleaner and blow through with compressed air.

davefirestorm:
I would leave carbs in situ take tops and bowls off and squirt carb cleaner in and blow out with air line.I replaced the cross head bolts with 4mm stainless hex socket caps for easier removal/refitting

Johnwebley:
agrees with Mathew.

 regular use of REDEX will keep it clean ,
