i have a pair of downdraft carbs (mikuni bd34's) similar to those found on cars, and some vtwin yamahas,
any way i have no compressor, and have tryed to clean them out but stuff is still blocked,

anyway i thought i'd ask here, before i take them to the bike shop

I have a compressor your welcome to use, and tools, and have worked on plenty of carbs (but no expert by any means).
hey, if we cant get them sorted at mine you can carry on to Upper Hutt to Str8 Jackets place :yes:
if there really gummed up - a soak in carb cleaner may be good in the mean time until you give them a huff with many PSI from the compressor...
happy to help however i can.

Canned air from Dick Smith is what I use - I have a compressor but the canned air is better

sometimes compressed air can blow the dirt further into the carb. The Dick smith can air and carb cleaner are best ways.
