Anyone taken these apart?
Its not fair to say that I have to do this but as its now got a sticking float im toying with the idea of taking the whole thing off yet again and replacing (with second hand) the throttle link bit – the plate where the cable nipple fits into and opens the throttle – as half of one of the tangs is missing and maybe replace the choke cam as well since it seems a bit worn.
Watching a demo on the internet it seems rather complicated for me, especially as I have never worked on one of these before other than to take the float bowls off!!
Erny:
Well, I plan to do the same and did before.. Good luck!

PD carbs are horrible, fiddly and a damn nusance. Dont know anybody who likes doing them.

I had two goes at mine and just could not get the bike to run properly. In the end I sent them to Matt Harper in Cheshire to rebuild them correctly. The bike has been spot on since. Don't mind doing carbs but these PD things are a pain. For instance, there are air vents on the sides of the carbs that nowhere I have seen even mentions, but if these get blocked (which they do) the bike runs like shite. I'm not his agent but here's his email. Well worth the cost.

ok, I think its "don't do it unless you have to" as the message. thanks for the email, matt is a great guy to talk to and very helpful.
