Hi guys. Well I've had a shoulder injury that kept me from riding for several months and not knowing when it would stop hurting, I never put any fuel stabilizer in the tank. Now my bike runs like $%&# and I am sure that the carbs are clogged. So I'm looking at my spiffy Haynes manual on how to disassemble the carbs and clean them and I'm thinking "I could do that". Now, I should say that I have NO automotive or mechanical experience, but I am pretty handy. I have replaced plumbing and installed instruments, pumps and such on boats, fixed plumbing & electric things around the house and am not afraid to try. So my question is, is this something a reasonably conscientious person can do? My option is to have the bike taken to the dealer who is about a zillion miles away or find a nearby generic bike wrencher. Truthfully, I would like to get to know the bike better so when people talk about re-jetting I wouldn't get that "Huh?" look on my face. So, how tough is it? Also, would it be worth running carb cleaner through it for 100 miles? Does that stuff work?
Thanks, Mike :hammer:
