carbs cleaning an reftting

(1/5) > >>

MIKE550/4:
not a job I have been looking forward to  pd46 carbs

so cleaning the carbs these were packed with grease and full of petrol

I have degreased and had out all the floats before I refit, anything I need to check and double check

float height I have yet to do as I think I have one sticky float

LesterPiglet:
How do jets get bent?   :o

MIKE550/4:
no idea, they are all like that

mickwinf:
those push in slow jets get stuck firmly and looks like someone has bent them trying to remove them. New ones are available from sirrius

Bryanj:
Polish the float pivot pins with wet and dry paper till shiney and floats move super free, also in the better body pic it looks to me like the spring loaded tip of the float needle is bent which means they need changing too.

the pilot jets deffinately should NOT be bent so they need changing and on the mixture screw there should be a spring, washewr and tiny "O" ring all of which are important.

I have 2 or 3 bits of sets of  these carbs but definately no idle screw washers If I can help with any other bits please ask and i will look.

I have used siriussonic in canada and found them very good
