Uneventful week - carb clean


Amy was left sitting from Saturday to Wednesday morning, and started up pretty easily first thing in the morning to get me to work. Damp morning (ish..) not so cold though. But it's a good sign. Has been running like a dream since. Almost wonder if I shouldn't touch anything for now... But where's the fun in that?.... So...

Fitted new carb gaskets and gave the bowl a good clean out. There was a mm layer of sludge at the bottom. OK, didn't get it all and the pump jet immediately blocked up again and had to dismantle and clear it. Dented the float in the meantime though. Will get a replacement. The joint between the bowl and the main carb body weeps slightly. Will have to take the whole thing off. Re-furbished exchange carb for £100?.. Hmmmm....
