I have noticed that Yamaha carb cleaner has had very good reviews over the years. No Idea if you can get it or even find a Yamaha dealer in NZ .......

Supercheap is bound to have a can of XXXXX brand carb cleaner!

super creep do have a reasonable can of carb cleaner...i think about 13$...bought some last week...if you strip all the fragile rubbery bits out and spray clean or soak the jets and bowls before cleaning up with something less chronic you should be sweet...
and careful with the cleaner, your air compressor and your eyeballs...it freakin hurts like a bastard when you catch a stray drip bro...
good luk

Thanks yes i probley still get myself in the eyes i had suffric acid dilluted in the eyes at
work . bleach . u name it hehe

i usally just soak jets in petrol done that holes blocked on in each main jet at the end .
done that , do i have to take cv diaprams rather not. as save cost new seals.

i never found cracked one yet but dont want damage them with compressed air.
i usally just blow the carbs with me gob.. but never had bike that didnt idle so assume

need smething bit more . i be tempted soak whole thing as submerged , but dont have

big enough contanier not going to seprate them. any tips be good.

as i said i cleaned xl 100 , xr 200 carbs just not multi cylinder jobs.

thes have plasic slides so something be carefull of not damaging .

bro just chuck a handful of VERY FINE sand in the airbox, it'll slowly draw through your carbs, like sandblasting the inside of your engine but Heaps easier.

The cleaner PineSol works well, just soak 'em over night
Carb cleaner and compressed air works well
Ultrasonic cleaning is best

Use a magnifying glass to check your jets etc when re-assembling and make sure your hands are clean.

[actungbaby]

I think I have some orings for the pilot screws somewhere

If you're having problems with the diaphragms seating, use something to hold the slide up a little to take the tension off the rubber

[unstuck]

Stick your finger up it, the carb throat that is. And hold the slide up a little bit while you put the cap back on.
