[QUOTE="Mandorider, post: 45888, member: 1967"] Geez, you guys are all such a big help. Well, I figured since its a few months until I can ride, why not pull the carbs. I did that on saturday. A little challenging but with the instructions I found on this site, I managed to do it without any real problems. Hardest part (of course) is the wiggling out. So, there out. Im gonna go after cleaning the idle jets. So, "littlebeaver" says, soak them in carb cleaner. by soaking them, you dont mean the whole thing right? Maybe thats a dumb question. I was just going to spray either carb cleaner or seafoam down into the idle jet, leave it sit (over night) and then use the wire brush bristle technique recommended. My question is relative to carb cleaner. do I need to be concerned with the carb cleaner damaging whatever rubber seals they come in contact with? I heard a few others mention this. Ok, im off now to buy a #2 (not #1) easyout. Thanks. Ill keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
