CARBURETOR OVERHAUL

REMOVAL

1. Remove  Carburetor assembly (Refer to engine removal section.)

NOTE:
The following parts can be cleaned and inspected without disassembly.

•   Piston valve
•  Jet needle

2.      Disconnect the drain hoses, fuel hoses and throttle cable

3.      Number each carburetor before removing it from carburetor brackets.

4.      Loosen starter lever screws

5.      Remove starter lever shaft (1), starter lever (2) and Lower bracket (3)

NOTE:
When separating the carburetors be sure not to lose the small spring (4) that may fall out. This spring connects the throttle levers.

6. Remove the upper bracket (1), carburetor joint (2) and carburetors

DISASSEMBLY

1. Remove the vacuum chamber cover (1), spring (2), vacuum piston (3) and jet needle (4)

2. Remove the starter plungers (1)

3. Remove float chamber cover, Float pin (1), float(2) and Needle valve (3)

4. Remove the Valve seat (1),  Pilot jet (2), Main jet (3) and Needle jet (4)

NOTE: 
Remove the needle jet toward the vacuum piston.

INSPECTION

1. Inspect: 
•   Starter plunger
(1) for wear
•  Vacuum piston (2) for wear
•  Throttle valve diaphragm (3)
for tears
•  Jet needle (4) for bends and/or wear 
•   Needle valve and valve seat (5) for wear.
•   Float for cracks or other damage.
•   Carburetor body
•   Fuel passage for contamination — Clean with carburetor cleaner
•  Jets for contamination — Clean with carburetor cleaner.
•   O-rings (Carburetor joint) (6) for wear, nicks, compression or other damage

Replace all damaged and worn components. .

NOTE: 
•  Wash the carburetor in a petroleum-based solvent. Do not use any caustic carburetor cleaning solutions.
•   Blow out all passages and jets with compressed air.

FLOAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

This is a preliminary step to approximate the correct float setting following reassembly It does not replace the need to set the fuel height as described bylow.

Float height measurement steps:

•   Hold the carburetor in an upside down position.

•   Incline the carburetor at 60 70° (so that the end of the float valve does not hang down as a result of float weight)

•   Measure the distance from the mating surface of the float chamber (gasket removed) to the top of the float.

NOTE:
The float should be just resting on, but not depressing, the spring loaded inlet needle.

Float Height:
16.0+1.0 mm (0.630±0.039 in)

Float height adjustment step:

•   Remove the float.
•   Adjust float height by bending the float tang (1) slightly.
•   Repeat the procedure for other carburetors.

FUEL LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

This is the final step in setting the floats, performed after the carburetors have been reassembled and offering greater precision than described above. 

Measurement steps (carburetors installed on motorcycle):
•   Place the motorcycle on a level surface. 
•   Use a garage jack under the engine to ensure that the carburetor is positioned vertically.
•   Connect the Fuel Level Gauge (1) (YM-01312) to the drain nozzle (2).
•   Loosen the drain screw (3) and start the engine.
•   Check the fuel level, one carburetor at a time.

Measurement steps (carburetors not installed)
•   Use a jig, vise, "Workmate" style bench  or similar device to hold the carburetor bank vertically
•   Place a level across the tops of the carbs to ensure the bank is level side to side.
•   Use a remote fuel supply with inline shut-off valve positioned just above the carb bank to supply fuel.
•   Connect the Fuel Level Gauge (1) (YM-01312) to the drain nozzle (2).
•   Loosen the drain screw (3).
•   Check the fuel level, one carburetor at a time.

 

Fuel Level: (a), below the carburetor body

1.0 ± 1.0 mm (0.039 ± 0.039 in)

(4) Float chamber (5) Carburetor body 

Adjustment steps: 
•   Remove the carburetors if necessary. Drain. Remove the float bowl.
•   Adjust float level by bending the float tang (1) slightly.
•   Repeat the procedure for the other carburetors.
