There's a guy in Holland called Gerben Van Der Mere that does a cracking carb rebuild at reasonable cost. Those PD carbs are a sod to do. Surprised the vapour blaster didn't advise you to strip them first, as now all your springs and linkages will rust like crazy. I had mine done and they came out like new, 6 months later they look like they were never done. Back to the standard dull grey finish. I would post them off to Gerben.

Hey yozzer, think logically the F2 carbs are a pig, but when the bikes left the factory they were fit for purpose so , it should be achievable getting them correct, the fuel pump and its jets need the most attention, there are little one way valves that get stuck and the very fine jets that squirt the fuel get blocked real easy , you can take them out and put a fine wire brush hair to clear them, once you have built them fill them with fuel on the bench and make sure each jet is spraying, cause that causes the throttle delay, the rest is the same as any other carb, however when these carbs were new they were a pig at warm up simply cause they were made to run lean, you have to piss around with the chock for a while till it hot that is normal
