I'm thinking if I drain all the carb bowls first to see what the petrol looks like just maybe I could get away with removing number one carb bowl and clean out the jet(s) you can unscrew?

Trying to avoid all the work that removing the carbs entails is it worth a shot or am I fooling myself to avoid the inevitable?

Bryanj:
Always worth a try Ted as you are not paying for the time, i bought the planet silicone 5.5

Take em off Ted, it’s the heart of the motor and you know as well as I, it only takes a gnats chuff of nothing to block anything. I guarantee if you do number 1, you’ll get an issue with one of the others later, it’s not worth the agro. Do it now while it’s in a state of build where it’s the lesser of two evils.

It’ll be in the back of your mind if you don’t and you’ve spent so much time, energy and pension for it to stuff up at one of the last hurdles. I know it’s a sod but you know it’s what’s really needed.

Sorry to be the arbinger of doom but if you do it now, you know it’s done right……..

I hate you Roo because the inner me knows you are right!

Sesman:
Hey, Ted.

Just returned to Blighty for a short break and catching up on the ‘news’. Congratulations on your work with the 500, you must be both proud and satisfied.👍👍
