I was told there is a way to back blow the carbs to help clean them out?

As said in the beginning of that thread,wasn't this a sticky and is there any reason why it shouldn't be?don't even know why it was taken down as a sticky,maybe magic pixie dust accidentally got sprinkled on it?

shouldn't this be a "sticky"?!

if it is/was, I've looked high and low for it and couldn't find it. :doh:


anyways, thanks for the link KM. :rockon:

Definitely should be stickied. I've linked it like 3 times recently where the person probably would have found it on their own. Then again, I did just search "blowback carbs" and found it right away.

It was,and somehow became unstuck.I guess they banned the author's glue as well

Hey Doc, sounds like you need to get some of those key finder things that beep when you clap your hands. lol:grin2:

 

[OleDirtyDoc]

Yea but if I put them on everything then everything would beep and I still wouldn't find anything

Backblowing a carb to clean.

Is there any other explanation on how to do this? This guy seemed upset someone wanted a vid, because to new comers we didn’t fully understand the jargon and parts he was referring to.

Short version:

Find a hose that fits snug on the drain at the bottom of the carb. Condensate drain hose off the front of the airbox should fit.

With the hose on the drain outlet, open the drain and blow into the hose so pressure is forced into the float chamber.

Make sure you drain carb before you blow into it, otherwise you'll be drinking gas.
