Re: rebuilding carbs

A Manual for you engine.<br /><br />Carb Kits, Buy them here, or at your dealer.<br /><br />Carb Cleaner, Spray cans are ok, but if they are really gummed up you should soak them in a bucket of carb cleaner. Remove plastic parts first.<br /><br />Compressed air to blow out the openings. Sometimes its hard to get them clean without a good air supply.<br /><br />A good half of a day with nothing better to do.

Re: rebuilding carbs

All solid advice. I would just add to make sure to use quality carb kits. A lean carb can produce an unhappy piston. And you know what happens when a piston gets all mad and puffed up.
