[QUOTE="saganaga, post: 209824, member: 5445"] While warming up to do an oil change, got a leak after 10 minutes. From the same side as carb #4. Suspect the needle valve. I shut off the petcock and drained the oil anyways. Left the drain plug open to get the excess gas out of the engine. On the plus side, I'm getting 15V while the motorcycle is running, so the charging system appears to be good. Lesson learned - just buy the new rebuild kit when the jets and valves are corroded. Other lessons from the previous rebuild: 1. The carbs in this are a PITA to remove and install. 2. Hitting a thrift store for a few glass containers with lids is rather nice for whatever solvent you are using for cleaning. Cuts down on the smell. Also good to grab a a plastic bin or two for cheap for each carb. 3. Painter's tape is great for labeling things. I had on each parts bin something that looked like "#4 LR 3 1/8" - #4 carb, left rear location, 3 1/8th turns on the pilot screw. 4. Think I found this somewhere else on Youtube, but from a CGW forum member - heat gun is the way to remove each intake manifold. 5. #0000 steel wool does polish old jets, but the little pieces get everywhere and each part needs to be carefully cleaned. 6. A little tape over the intakes is a great way of sealing the engine as well. [/QUOTE]
