      Start with a carb that doesn't matter. (One from a junk engine headed for the scrap yard). Once you get familiar with them at a personal level, they aren't so mysterious. Just like anything else you are familiar with. Get your hands on and explore! 😀🙂

      @seanbissett-powell5916 Рік тому +1

      It's fair to say that Mikuni carbs on early Kawasakis are incredibly well designed. Wherever possible they used the same screws across the board, or made sure that fasteners were easily identifiable. As long as you know which holes need bolts, which need screws and which have something a bit special (which probably won't fit anywhere else anyway), it's hard to go wrong.
      But I must admit I've done a slight modification and swapped the Plasticine-headed JIS screws for Allen Bolts. It upsets the purists but works better from a practical perspective, and it's right for the period (I first fitted Allen Bolts to my Z650 carbs back in 1980-saomething.....)

    It never ceases to amaze me how unnecessarily complicated carburettors are

    • @Axel_Andersen
      @Axel_Andersen Рік тому +5

      Of course from modern perspective they look complicated when we have all the complexity inside the silicon chip.
      As mechanical engineer I cannot help thinking what an absolutely thankless task it has been to design a carburettor that works somewhat ok for low, medium and high revs and that supplies the engine with enough fuel during acceleration all the while having manufacturing, assembly, longevity and maintenance in mind.
      So it jars me when someone dismisses that as ""complicated".
      Maybe in the sense that injection seems to be less complicated (though I've never taken a mechanical injection apart) but given the task to supplying an engine with a carburetor I don't think it is unnecessarily complicated.
      But every part and feature is there for a reason and every design has a history.

    I'm often drinking my cuppa cold, like right now with my model train stuff on my desk and I've clean forgotten about my cuppa, so you're not alone. Lisa is munching on some twiglets, and she is making me hungry again, so I'll have a small chocolate biscuit, I've had enough crisps today.

    Hi Allen, great video on how to properly refurbish carbs, those ultrasonic cleaners are a game changer. Cupcake looked very nice, cheers, Alex.

    Great stuff as always. Very surprised that you haven't got a nice set of gas jet cleaners for cleaning out your carb jets. I use my set all the time for lawnmower carbs and there is always the right diameter jet cleaner for the job. 👍 They were less than ten quid.

    That cupcake looked pretty good. My mum used to use scissors like them, there called pinking shears.

    Great video as always Allen, best thing about it is next time someone tells me EFi is too complicated I can point them to this to show them the error of their ways!

    Most therapeutic this is. Those carbs look quite clean actually.

      I tried to throw out a pair of bow-legged side cutters, but my dad picked it out of the trash and put it back. Then I welded the jaws together..

    Thank you so much for this video Allen! Interesting to see the difference between these Mikunis and the Keihins on my CB650 Honda.

    Allen I met you in the Isle of Mann a few years ago you had the Flying Millyard there but what i wanted to say is that a set of steel guitar strings make perfect jet wires that are cheap and are different diameters and because thet are long easy to hold.

    Carburator cleaning, cupcake and a nice cup of tea is like living in paradise. I missed the chipmunk in this video, has he deserted your garden?
