Pawel Saladziak Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I took a picture of carb top, just below the air filter, is it supposed to be so dirty like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Nope. Probably from the rocker breather or running with no air filter for a while. The airbox is held on by those four nuts and some pipework. Carefully release it (leave the hoses connected) and you'll be able to access the gauzes on top of the carb. They lift off and can be cleaned before putting back.

Pawel Saladziak Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thank you Ferny!!! Will clean it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Saladziak Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I took the air filter box off, completely detached it, and here goes the question. The gauzes seems to be unremovable and the only way to take them off is with the air intake manifold. But I may have found a suspect who cause this excessive dirt. If you look carefully on the picture you will see that there is a rubber seal missing on one of the gauzes (the more dirty one) so there is a gap all around it that lets the air inside omitting the air filter. So now I need this washer, any ideas where I can buy its, what to look for on ebay, elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPearce Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 As one who does have access to the book of farce, I still appreciate that picture because it's a LOT clearer on here than on there. No idea why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Martin, I've got the parts catalogue available to download from my BT Cloud storage if it helps any. I can't post the link because I'm at work at the moment. I can do it when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawel Saladziak Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ok, it looks like on of the carbs was on its way to give up, and now it is just faulty, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway i will move this to a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
