    Focus is on "Early-70's" Mikuni's
    Excellent Pictorial.
    Excellent Instructional (Particularly on Necessary Tools and Pilot Mixture Screw Anti-tamper Plug Removal)

    Neglects the need to conduct a "Clunk-Test" and De-deoxidation Scrubbing and Polishing of Diaphragm Piston Bores.

    He also says not to leave them in carb dip too long because of the throttle shaft seals. With a little more time (to file down the peened screws) would could have removed the throttle shaft seals and insured their safety.
