My carb removal project

[satariel666]

Sorry...some misunderstanding...is a little late here

What i mean was that you can disconnect them for shipping but ist no need(lower ones).
Removing lower linkage its not necessery.

Theres a cable connector like i mentioned before so you can basicly split lower and upper cables and leave lower ones with the carbs.
Lower ones are a little hard to remove.
And like you mentioned there are the tabs in the linkage that holds the linkage with the throttle guide.

No problem it's very easy to confuse me because this is the first time I have ever removed carbs, it's all new to me and what seems simple to most isn't for me at this point.

Now I will not have these problems again because I have learnt how to remove a set of carbs.

I did drain the carbs before removing but is there a way to make sure all the gas is out before I pack them for shipping?

Thanks again
Ron

Wait till you have to put them back in... The throttle cables can be a bit fiddly but it's not horrible. I always use plenty of painters masking tape (the blue or green stuff) when working on my bike to keep the scratches to the frame and other paint down to a minimum. You should see my front fender right now. It's blue! lol

 

[EAGLEPI]

That's a very good tip and I will use it when I put everything back together.

Thanks

Although my vote is that it is horrible until you get a system down of how to fish those darn cables through the linkage properly. Get a chair to sit on beside the bike and get a cardboard box to put on your lap or something to help rest the carbs on while you are reconnecting everything.
