For those who have been following my travails to get this beast running correctly (had a bad rotor), well, it's still running like crap. In fact it stalled out twice today and I wasn't sure Id make it back home from around the block. So, I just decided to dive in and have removed one of the 40s just now. I'm taking photos, counting turns and taking my good old time. I'll let ya'll know what happens.

Mmmmmmm goooey.
Keep track of all the hardware and springs. I like those 2 oz sealable plastic containers from Giant. Make sure none of your mix screws are bent at the tip. the come to a point, and can get deformed if over tightened. Then they have to be replaced. Replace everything rubber. replace all the paper gaskets. ita not all that hard to rebuild these things, but you do want to be meticulous. For the air correction screws (the ones with little lock nuts), note down how many 1/2 turns they are off bottom. Chances are you want them back to that space once the carbs are rebuilt. Also, jot down all your jetting information. it will be helpfull down the line. All the jets will have stamps on them what they are (or were before some PO reamed them out) Zach |

Thanks. Know any of the answers to post #11 above?
I have everything in baggies, and labeled, and counted every turn I took out as a good reference just to get her started again so I can then tune the carbs correctly. In fact, I'm soaking parts in a few stages so I don't get too confused this first go-round. QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Oct 8 2009, 09:20 AM)  Mmmmmmm goooey. Keep track of all the hardware and springs.
