So that's carefully?

Give me the claw hammer!

It's just lazy. Y'need to show it who's in charge. Put y'r foot down.Make it respect you as a man. If that doesn't work , fuck it up the exhaust pipe.

Oh yeah, and after you clean the carb, you need to take the fuel tap off and clean that . BE CAREFUL. When you take the tap off petrol will piss out everywhere !

Noted, I plan to empty the tank and put new gas in it too. so I might as well check the tap while I'm there.

Well the jets seem fine, as does the float.

Blurdy hell, I think we need to organise a "Bike not going" day, and trailer in all the non running KB bikes to be knocked into shape (in the case of Mr Mikey's CBR, probably literally)

If the jets are OK, AND THERE'S NO CRAP under where they came out of , and you've checked under the needle (you did blow through all the passages, didn't you ? ) , then put it all back together . CAREFULLY. ANd take the tap apart

But before you do check that diaphragm for leaks, wrinkles, holes. I don't like the look of it, but then I never like the look of diaphragms. Had a very nerve wracking experience with diaphragms years ago, but that's another story and it all worked out OK anyway - you'd think bloody women could keep track of dates wouldn't you. What's wrong with a piston like the good old SU I ask.

there's kinda a bumpy shape round the diaphram, but not tears etc. It seems ok to me.

[FROSTY:Me]

Well ve given up Indy --ya just need summmat to moan about doncha??
Its the needle under the float ya need top clean out,
remove float use 10mm hex and remove brass "nut thing" and clean out the filter behind it. Also every jet should beremoved blown out with an air gun.
the fuel tank needs to be emptied till not a drop of fluid remains in it
12 months Ive offered to fix the friggin thing for ya and still no go--
don't blame the bike,dont blame the bikeshop when it coulda been purring like a kitten 12 months ago

Of course I need something to moan about, I'm a pom.
And I will blame the bikeshop, I took it to them twice, to be fixed, which they failed to do.

Anywayz, it's something to do.

They always look bumpy. Something to do with titillation I guess. Did you remove the nut thingy that the needle thing goes in Like Mr Frosty said. Apparently there's a filter behind it, bet it's full of crap. And before you put the carb back together , get a bowl of nice clean petrol and put the whole carb in it (in bits still) and slosh it around a good bit. Amazing what that washes out sometimes.

And yeah, when you take the tap off, next job, all yur petrol will piss out.Save it for the lawn mower, and put nice new stuff in , once you've cleaned out the tap.

[Indiana_Jones]

I can't see any filters.?

-Indy

[FROSTY:Me]

well then empty that frigging gas tank out --actually empty it out into like a clear container --id be interestested as to exactly how much shitand water is in the tank

You've taken out the bit that that float needle was in ? With a spanner ? Can't say for sure about the filter, cos I'm not familar with that carb. Once you take the needle seat out , you should be able to look right up it and through the petrol pipe and see light.
Then take off the tap and flush out the tank.

there's a pipe bending on the side that hooks up the float, I can't take the bit out that the plug\needle goes into, but I can blow through the gas line to where it is, so it seems ok to me

The gas in the tank looked fine to me (just that pinky colour), there was a little grit in the reserve filter, but that's about it.

OK . So now put it all CAREFULLY back together. That's the end of stage one. Try it and see. If still not right we move to stage two.
