Thanks again for all the info.

I know the carb is a mikuni but what model? I am looking for a manual/parts breakdown on it.

Also is it easier to get the carb in and out with the Battery box removed? I would appreciate any tips that will make this go smoothly.


All you need to know is in the tech section index.
Look for carb cleaning

Of course removing the bat box gives you more room, but not necessary.
Just take a racket strap and pull back the bat box to clear the bottom of the carb.

Then take the top off the carb, pull out the slide and place it somewhere clean.
loosen the clamps and the clamp to the airbox, turn the carb 90° (either way, don't matter)
push the carb to the right and back with a twisting motion until the front slips out of the flange.
leave the airbox duct there and pull out the carb.
install in reverse order.

Did this last weekend and found it was a lot easier than wrestling with the airbox duct after getting the carb installed.

I woulda sworn he said it was okay with the petcock on Prime.

Thanks for the replies.

It does run on prime.

The bike has 7000 miles and hasn't been ridden regular for over 5 years. The gas in it was 1 year old. I drained the whole system including the carb.

It sounds like I need to take the carb off and give it a good cleaning.  Maybe replace the petcock also?

It is my wifes and I am trying to get it in shape to sell.

Thanks again!


never hurts to clean the carb.
