Saul Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago I should be fine, I haven't separated the carb bodies so it's just the floats, jets and a few sundary bits, reasonably easy, one done already just stopped for a cuppa. Although I know i am tempting fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamaHead Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted 41 minutes ago Author Share Posted 41 minutes ago 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh forget that, the thought of working on V4's disturbs me I would love an old Honda 750 VFR but I just don't fancy spannering on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted 27 minutes ago Share Posted 27 minutes ago You can replace those screws holding the float bowls with Allen heads, much easier to undo if you have to get in there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good plan I have some nice stainless ones I could use as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
