I generally use a can of wd-40 or the like with the long nozzle
and squirt it into every hole in the carb body as well as every
jet until it squirts out the other side more or less
unrestricted. Stubborn clogs will require tougher methods.
Various sizes of guitar string can be good uncloggers too if you
have any of that lying around.

| Make sure there isn't any junk inside the pilot jets. I always use a number drill the correct size or slightly smaller to clean them. If the pilot jet numbers between your old and new carbs are the same chances are that the jet size is correct. Also do your best to clean the pilot passages in the carbs.

Hi all, My Eldo have been lean off idle since I built it. It will idle fine, but when I go to take off it is really lean and bogs down. I went through the carbs completely when I built the bike initially, and noticed one carb body had some significant corrosion, so I got a second complete set which I am rebuilding now. They are in great shape, but I wonder if I should alter the jetting any to try and correct the condition. I am using the stock airbox, stock jetting, and a new filter I got from Gordon and Rick. Would a larger pilot jet help? TIA 73 Eldo 78 T3/949 Your free subscription is supported by today's sponsor: |
