k3 carb cleaning and setup

<< < (2/3) > >>

matthewmosse:
First resort, is often to drain the petrol from the carbs and re fill with neat redex and leave for at least a day, I've dodged at least a few carb stripdowns this way, the k3's carbs are a right pain to get in/out of the bike at least on mine

OLIVER1GEORGE:
try this site it might help a little , i used a acetone it worked really well removing deposits

matthewmosse:
Great link, carbs made simple enough for even me ;D

duzatun:
yes steve D
a parts list on the carbs that mike has pics of here as i said found the amended section for the manual but couldnt find the parts list
so a parts list so part numbers could be found would be very helpfull
thanks

I guarantee you the pilot jets will be blocked and the cross holes furry.

They are pressed in but if you grip carefully with mole grips and twist and pull at same time they will come out. clean thouroughly and tap into place with a soft faced BUT NOT HIDE hammer so they seal on the tapered seat.

DO NOT CLEAN OUT THE JET HOLE WITH STEEL WIRE OR A DRILL BIT!!!

Use soft copper wire or nylon fishing wire
