Wow! (*\u00b4\u0437`) Didn’t realize 15 or 16 years had gone by! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carburetors are becoming a dead word these days, aren’t they? What do you think? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhaust noise measured at 94 dB \u2013 most bikes fail on this, so watch out. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one’s out too ( \uff1b\u2200\uff1b) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it’s pretty scorched! (*\u00b4\u0437`) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air-cooled carb bikes are fun to work on when it comes to spark plug replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I like a standard JR8B plug (*’\u25bd’) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time to replace the air filter! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’re going to do an OH on the brake master (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back in the day, you’d install this cup separately yourself, right? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Times have changed. Now we just do an inspection, and we’re grateful for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like there’s no problem\u2026\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspection drill for the master return port. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’re not digging around \u2013 just doing a visual check of the passage. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even blowing with air or parts cleaner can be iffy sometimes.
Since it’s less than 0.5 mm, you really should check it carefully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re not removing the bottom, so we’re doing it thoroughly from the top (*’\u25bd’) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s a vacuum~ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It should be holding tight now. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DIY replacement but worried about it? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, it’s probably fine, but since you were concerned, I took everything apart and checked it all.
It should be good\u2026\u2026 and we’re done! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
