Removing carbs

[prairieboy]

Quick question about removing the carbs.

When I disconnect the cables (throttle and choke) is there anything to be concerned with as in the correct setting. Sorry, not really sure what the correct terminology is, but I just want to make sure that when I loosen the jam nuts, I don't want to throw anything out of whack when I put it back together. Is there any special procedure or tips/advice?

I loosen the inside nut and leave the outside nut in the same position. Then when I go to reinstall the cables are close.

Once you start unbolting things... you MUST check everything again. There's no way to do it, and have it be exact going back together.

Once back on...

1) adjust the cable for full throttle. (so the stop just misses)

2) Then check the sync of the 2 carbs. (There's enough play in the bolt holes, that it won't be the same)

3) Verify that the oil pump is adjusted properly (assuming the idle is OK)

Thanks Doc,

Reading your response kinda worries me in doing it right - is there a write-up with/without pictures that I can follow. It seems I can fly a rocket if I watch a video or read a how-to first :lol:

It's really not that hard. I can do all of that in about 10 minutes or less.

Sorry... no vids that I know of, and I don't want to rip into my ski's right now. (they are running good)
