Carburetor - Inspection

These carburetors came from a bike that had been standing for a long time.

All of the chrome has rusted

I'm unsure what this spring should be fixed to.

I use these small screwdrivers to pry off the clip. I can get a complete set from the dollar store - so I don't mind using them for jobs like this.

The used worn screws - tells me somebody was here before me - in which case its important to look out for "non-standard changes", and be aware that parts may be misplaced or missing.

This giant spring is slightly rusty - I could perhaps get away with cleaning it up but for 11$ each it's worth replacing.

Something crusty inside I'm not sure what it is.

The slide diaphragm also has an unknown crud - whatever it is I'm trying to avoid touching it and breathing it in.

The spring above the needle is also corroded but at $40 each I might try cleaning this.A Dynojet kit is $64 for both carbs.

This missing washer tells me somebody was here before me

The float bowl reveals more corrosion - serious damage here.

The previous owner complained he was unable to get the bike started - I wonder why?

This float looks like its been repaired - the two bubbles of "stuff" are curious. The pin is also corroded.

Once the bubbles of goop are removed - it all falls apart.

Keep each carb in it's own box with all is own parts

The diaphragm has a locating notch.
