Help !!! - Carb advice please
Nurse Julie:
Hi Chaps.
The only carbs I have ever taken apart before are the old Amal ones on my Triumphs and a Trident a life time ago. I am a 'Newbie' when it comes to 400/4 carbs. I need some advice to start please. I think my aim is to get the carbs stripped of the small bits etc so I can put the whole assembly in the dishwasher.I have got the carbs off bike, float bowl, leaf spring, main jet,slow jet,clip plate and valve seat out. If I now start taking it apart from the top end, will I be able to get all the bits out without separating the carbs?. Also. am I right in thinking that if I leave the carbs attached to the back plate, so not ending up with 4 separate carbs, I won't have to have the carbs synchronized? Or, is what I think I'm trying to do not even possible ? :( :( :(
Ta in advance for your help
Regards
Julie

I would not be putting carbs in the dish washer. Need to go in to a ultrasonic bath.
Get a camera and film the strip down. I do this with a engine that i am not familiar with.
Nurse Julie:
OK. But will I still need to take everything out / off the carbs to put them in the cleaner?

Not really. You can leave them as a bank and just take the bottoms apart, that is the only stuff that needs a good clean ie, jets, tubes ect,ect.
Nurse Julie:
Thanks Graham. Now all I need now is an ultrasonic cleaner. I don't suppose an industrial steralizing autoclave in the Operating Theatre would do the job?, may have to sneak my carbs in with the operating instruments when no one is looking ;D ;D ;D
