How do you clean a motorbike carburetor?

Answer 1

The First thing you have to NOT DO, is try to start it if it has been sitting for any long duration of time, 6 months or more, second, you have to remove the gas tank, drain the contents, into a can you can see in, look for a dark brown colored corpusal, in the gas, if there is some, that is an indication, that your carbs need to come apart, unless you are a seasoned mechanic, you will have to remove the carb, take the bowl off, of course you will look for the brown colored substance again, clean the bowl,remove the pin, holding the float in place being careful to secure the needle valve in its proper place after cleaning it thouroghly, remove the jet, using a tiny bit, you ream the jet hole center, taking care not to bore it out, the you run the bit in the jet hole, cleaning any debris that may be there, use carb cleaner and keep spraying it in all in puts and out puts the carb may have, then if you put your mouth to the fuel input to the carb, blow in it to be sure it is clear, if not you have to use carb cleaner and air to clean it out, air and carb cleaner is the key to cleaning it properly, some carbs need to be taken apart and soaked in a carb cleaner, before reassembly, just keep blowing air in all the inputs and out puts, to be sure they are cleared, reassemble and GO
