Carb Wars- Dirty Fuel Strikes Back. (─‿─)

[Larrym]

Ran my bike w/o inline feelterz fOaR 2 years and one month before it caught up to me.
On a run to Dairy Queen (only place in my area not subject to the continuing "Soft-Serve" Crisis) bike idled SLOW.
Discovered #4 exhaust pipe was COLD.

Back at home/garage-spark was good and #4 plug wuz DRY. （ ﾟ Дﾟ)

Removed the carb bank and found #4 fuel idle jet AND Idle mixture screw-hole plugged wit' debris. (⊙︿⊙)

Disassembled/Cleaned ALL carbs to get rid of the fine, red, "chili powder" that inline filters would'a caught. (￣ー￣)ｂ

continued......

Return of the Carb Pagoda. (°◡°♡)



The "Clamptite" tool thingy works great to tension the bailing wire holding the carb bank to the Pagoda. (^_^)



Pic shows where/how I chose to position the bailing wire connection and ends.



I leave enuf loose wire to secure the fuel filters/lines..... （＾ｖ＾）

Here's how I add fuel.....



Time to check them fuel levels.....

[Larrym]

Only #2 carb level was off... too high. (>_<)



After adjustment.........



Right in the Goldilocks zone. (◕‿◕)

[Larrym]

Will install inline filters so's this ain't gonna happen again fOaR a long.......LONG..... L O N G time. (　◜◡‾)

[DiverRay]

Change filter at least once per year. If a filter starts to get too much junk, it keeps the fuel from flowing....

I really like the setup for checking the fuel levels off the bike. Thanks for the photos.
