Hey Bill,
Sorry, I think we must be talking at cross purposes. I have the carbs off the bike, but am wanting to strip them to clean them up as the bike has been sitting for quite some time and the bodies have oxidised a little and are covered in the normal grime that carbies get after alot of use. Also with it sitting obviously the internals will need cleaning out to. Which reminds me, what is a good method or carb cleaning solvent to use. I was going to send them to a specialist to be cleaned but that is quite expensive so thought I would give it a go. Oh and Yes my bike is a 1982 KZ1300 A4.
Thanks again.
