Continuing in the second half of this series, the second carb is now disassembled, this one has some minor differences such as idle speed adjustment, however upon opening this carb was found to be much cleaner inside as compared to the first. It will still be completely disassembled and cleaned like the first, it just wont be as difficult.
Once the carb is cleaned and reassembled, it is time to bring both carbs back together. I note an important mistake I made in the video and corrected on a spring between the throttle linkages and balancing adjustment that I had done accidentally earlier and then fixed. A quick discussion worth having about the solenoids which throw errors because they are expensive and easy to fix so measurements are taken to show what they look like when working and how an open is repaired. Also a check of TPS is conducted as well.
At this point the carb was reassembled back onto the bike with each connection reconnected exactly opposite as removed. Once the system was closed up fuel was added with an affixed funnel allowing the pump to purge the air until the carbs were filled to leaks could be checked for. Also checking up to for flooding from a stuck float.
The next Phase has the air-box and attached hardware all the way through to the air filter installed back onto the bike. We throw on the tank right quick add a little gas to give it a test run. I realize I should have used the pump to purge the old gas in the system, but it was not terrible so I would just let it burn through.
Satisfied with the initial run of the bike I let it cool down so that the rest of the assembly can be completed. Once the assembly is completed, the bike is again brought to full temperature so that the carbs can be balanced.
After the bike was balanced and throttle response was tested. The boss lady took the bike for a test drive, having checked the brakes, oil and added air into the tires. I too took it for my own test drive on the gopro. Happy with the performance, the project is brought to an end.
