Reassembled Carb Progress

Well i got the carbs back together mostly, just a few things left to do, waiting on the needle seats and pins & seals. This is how they came out so far.






Here is a video also ^__^

Sweet, me and you are almost at the same pace on this haha

Except im getting float levels done now.

You can make a pretty easy setup to get them set with a couple of clamps and a level


Oh ya, what is different on your emblems? Repainted or??

 

My emblems? what do you mean ? the ones on the tank ?

 

lookin good man!

 

Ya, they are not gold right? Are they silver?

 

Yeah there white, the previous owner said when he got it there where no colors on it and he painted them white because he thought they where, anywho they will be painted the correct color eventually, bigest issues are the carbs and some electrical gremlins, the red wire on the rectifier harness gets super hot and starts to smoke.

 

i will get new screws eventually for the carb caps and so on, i just cant wait till i get the parts in the mail i want to start my bike so bad.

 

If you want to clean up the screws a bit, throw them in a drill, take some 800 wet to them, and use some tripoli polish on a rag. It cleans them up pretty good.

 

Awesome Tip!! i will have to try that.

 

It only takes me 15 minutes of work. I could show you a pic or two of how mine came out when I get the chance to upload.

 

Very nice work and something to be proud of for sure. Those carbs are mint. Let us know how it runs.

Magnificent!
And the VIDEO is even better.

When you do THAT much work on getting things perfectly clean, ... you DESERVE to treat yourself to:

NEW Fasteners.

You can check-out Ebay and maybe find a Stainless Kit, ...
-or-
Just go to a Well Stocked Hardware Store and buy 16 Beautiful Allen Hex Cap Screws to replace the nicked-up and nasty Screws holding-down them sweet-looking Chrome Hats.

Take a Prize off the Top Shelf.
You won them with that job!

These are the results I got from cleaning up the screws. Getting news like rick says isnt too bad though.

Before:



After:

 

Tie-up the Linkage Hook-up so when you put them on the Linkage Hook-up wont flop down under the Head.

You're looking good.
Do a painstakingly accurate Bench Sync using 3X5 Card Strips

How did you get Fuel Jets so shiny.
Jewelery dip?

 

A lot of painstaking work Rich haha

Thats a good tip, Im sure that is going to save me a lot of frustration

 

I used a wire brush wheel on my Dremel , that is how i got the carbs so clean hehe.

 

Very simple to do:

A Pipe Cleaner or a string.
Tie the Cable Holder to the Enrichment Rod.

If you do it "Tight" ... the Piece won't hang-up on Manifolds when you are
reinstalling the rack.

 

I took everything out and polished them.

 

Very good.

Cartridge brass cleaner in an ultrasonic bath makes them nice and shiny too.
