A day of building shiny things!
Need your carbs rebuilding? And want them good as new. Send me a message

Well, I knew it was a bit loud... Guess when your exhaust gasket has turned into stringy tinfoil, it's going to blow by and make it a bit louder.
Now replaced for new. Sound much better too!

Ah, right tighty.. Till righty loosey... I think I'll replace this one

Poping fuses like mints? Wiggle the loom till it goes again, and investigate that bit. Open the sheath, find the wide open copper.
A few repairs, fresh tape, and re-route the loom, and it's good again.

Yeah, that might be why it didn't want to run smooth. Some varnishing on the slide can prevent it from being pulled up smoothly. Nothing a bit of carb cleaner can't sort.

Set of carbs stripped and rebuilt!

*not normal speed, please don't expect me to turn them around in under 2 minutes

What should have been a valve clearance check, has turned into a full top end rebuild, and this is only the surface. Literally. This is a shim bucket that sits on tip of the valves, where the cams should run against, or in this case grind against as this one is slightly courser than a badgers proverbial... More findings to come

Cv carbs use vacuum from the engine to open the slides. Vacuum is drawn on one side of a diaphragm pulling the slide up.
However, if that diagram is contorted like a discarded kitkat wrapper, it's just not going to give you full operation, and starve you of fuel and performance.
Definitely time for a new set on this bike

Guess that's the low compression. Some very fouled up valves with sealing surfaces like a bomd site.
Much lapping later, they're looking good again. 6 down, 10 to go....

Most cam tensioners use a big coiled spring to push against a chain guide.
Dont take the spring out... It takes ages to wind it up again...
