Seriously considered Andy's method of filling carbs with straight Seafoam, but decided not to waste anymore time, and removed the carbs.. This is a full dress bike done by one of the previous owners, so there was an extra hour required to remove stuff up front before I could get the side panels off. Had the carbs out in less than 3 hours. Would be faster next time now that I see all the hoses that have to be undone.Am not even going to remove carbs from filter box (they're on too tight to remove anyways).Removed bottom of carbs, and unscrewed low speed jets. They were all blocked. Took a few shots of carb cleaner in a rattle can, then 100 pounds of air to clean them. Have 4 carb kits on the way, so will replace what's in kit, then re-assemble.Actually, being a new bike to me, I did not mind getting into the bike, as I'll know it a little better. Also will give me a chance to clean some chrome that's not reachable before, while I wait for the kits to arrive.Thanks all for you suggestionsJack</blockquote>
