Topic : Carborators . how to keep them in good shape...

Hey everyone. Mine. Carborators...r been rebuilded thx to Mr. Toe Cutter...good adviser..and mechanic. Now is mine question...how can I keep them alive...in good shape..I steal got little bet of work on mine bike...so should I put them in seeaaled plastic bag...or should I just cover the air box with plastic bag so nothing bad gonna get into them.....or even now or non riding season....should I just....start the bike like twice a week....and let it run...for a while....in the garage...in winter time......or every season...they...must be rebuild...cleaned.....I'm worried abouut future....thx

 

Keep the tank clean and full if you put it away for a couple of weeks or more and use a stabilizing fluid such as Stabil. Run gas that you know is of higher quality, don't run crap or old gas through it.
You can run a little Seafoam through it every once in a while top help clean the carbs a little.

A sealed bag would be fine for now to keep crap out of them and keep the seals from hopefully drying out more until you are ready to mount them.

 

The best thing you can do b4 storing the bike is to turn the petcock to OFF or unplug the fuel pump and run the bike until the carbs are mostly out of fuel (stalls), then open each drain screw to remove any fuel remaining. Next push the start button for a few seconds to draw any fuel from the idle jets.

 

Good deal I guess I could do it....once I'm gonna find drain....screws...and if taking those screws out not gonna mass with messing with the carbs setup.....running how they should be...I will do that....and gas tankl with fuel stubilizer....and gas good deal. Thx

 

The easiest way to keep your carbs in good shape is to run a fuel stabilizer & ride the bike regularly. The most common cause of carb malfunctions is letting them sit & they gum & varnish up.

If you are storing them off the bike for an extended period, drain them completely, wipe them down with a storage oil like you would put in your cylinders & seal them in a zip lock bag.
