Refitting carbs to a CBR900rr

[actungbaby]

hI finally got around to it . any tips making it easier

I found had use bar to get them out . id refit the rubber seals onto head first use some

Little bit soapie water and get them in as set of 4 i didnt seperate the carbs.

In mean time brought a honda ns 250 r 2 stroke in bad way .

Oh silly me i hit kill switch on vfr 750 flicked back on backfire blew two brothers muffler of.

Notiched was slighty wiggly where riveted to the metal sealing clamp any ideas can re revit it

back on .

Bench sync them before fitting.

careful heating with a heat gun may warm the rubbers and make it easier and use some lube that will stay there rather than soapy water apply real lightly though

two tricks I have used.
smear a very small amount of grease around the inner of the boots.

Warm the boots up in hot/warm water, whip them out, dry them, and assemble while still relatively warm and pliable

Armourall is what I use to get the boots nice and slippery, and they look so shiney too.

vaccum guages only for when on the bike running, bench synch would be along the lines of adjusting your
linkage so that the butterflys open evenly etc (not sure what type/model carbs you have)
as above id lube the boots with a bit of oil or what have you, im guessing the carbs are on a downdraught
angle? so you can get a bit of bodyweight in behind them to wrestle them in
older bikes i use a block of wood and a car scissor jack to persuade the fuckers

I just heat them up with the heat gun. I set it to medium heat.

Bit of silicon spray, and away ya go. Might miss a bit while it breathes the silicon overspray, but it wont hurt it.
