Well, I have nothing else to do.

Everything is sliding around just fine now.

As far as the filters, you talking something like these?

Along with the title of this thread, my mind wanders, I have a dirty mind.

yupper! dont forget to check clearance behind the engine, my cm's frame is kind of a pressed box affair and it wasnt very happy sharing space with a filter. did keep the carbs on when i forgot to tighten the boots up and backfired them out on the way home a few months back

I think there is plenty of room since there was a giant portion of the air box in there before. Damn, I think that is gonna look pretty sexy.

When I get home tonight I'll get the pics from photobucket my dad claims to have loaded last night. The air box was repulsive and hilarious.

Under the filter:


Draining the tank...what's in there?


Husband breaking stuff...literally.

damn, eff that airbox! carbs are looking good! dont forget theres lots of passages and crap that could be clogged. might be worth soaking them overnight in some solvent or manually running a fine wire through each jet and passage you can find. hows the oil filter looking? i assume it uses the in pan round filters honda was so fond of in the eighties? cheep

What do you take me for, an amateur? Okay, well you should....but my dad told me he started doing this when he was 14.

Here are the fancy carb rebuilding tools we used:



We took a pin through every jet and did reverse flow on every passage way. We ain't foolin' around Dave-O.

We didn't take the oil filter off yet. That's next week.
