Here we go

Myself, I enjoy doing that kind of work...especially if you've got an array of new parts for replacement. Inline 4's or parallel twins/triples are much more pleasant to deal with vs. wrestling w/ V4 carbs, which can sometimes be a real bitch.

Oil, filters and plugs plus a general check over to make sure there were no problems……..oh and they adjusted my chain and oiled it. They seem to do a lower charge for bikes bought from them and then returned for servicing etc. Decent service I reckon………..I probably couldn’t afford your services Bob

Benelli had its 7,000 klm service today, 100 euros all in including the Spanish equivalent of VAT. Had to take my own coffee and croissant though……..’kin disgraceful

Good luck. I always find I have a few bits left over once I put stuff like that back together

Clean the float valve seats and run some piano wire through the jets.

Good plan I have some nice stainless ones I could use as well.

You can replace those screws holding the float bowls with Allen heads, much easier to undo if you have to get in there again.

All done, carbs clean. All new jets and O rings. Emulsion tubes cleaned and checked, diaphragms all good. Carbs still retain original sync as I didn’t separate the bodies. Although I will balance them when they are on the bike. I will check the float valves are sealing before refitting the carbs but apart from the that ready to go. I want to drain the tank and get fresh fuel before doing more. Other more pressing jobs next on the list. Repairing my bike shed being top of it. Left over bits

Well the carbs came off without to much drama. Throttle cable was a bit of a pig but ok in the end. Initially took the float bowls off and there was some sludge so have cleaned them all out. Gonna re watch some carb cleaning vids before going any deeper. On a side note the carb rubbers are not old at all. Both airbox and motor sets. All pliable and in great condition. I’m fairly sure that have been replaced at some point. Also the air filter looks in very good condition and must have been replaced recently in mileage terms. Good to find out but sort of wish I didn’t have a new one sitting on the bench, that is a few quid I could have saved as are the new set of rubbers. I intend to keep the bike so they will be used at some point.

Flounce alert!
