The air valves are for adding very small amounts of air to tune the ride or used as air bleeds. Personally I only ever use them for bleeding off air that builds up. Never use a compressor to add air unless it is regulated to about 10 psi. A bicycle pump is a safer option. If they dont have caps on them, install some.

^^^^ what he said. I used a bicycle pump and gave it a tiny little push and it stiffened them up considerably. It doesnt take much. Im a bigger guy so i wanted them with a little less give

I noticed after mentioning. That bike has been ridden AND taken very well care of. Very very rare to find a 200x that complete. Not to mention you stole it at 700. I am jealous.Originally Posted by AK47KID

Exactly how many days does it take you to clean a carb?
Taking it apart already, oh boy!
Yeah I don't mind a little engine work. I learned everything I know on the internet!!
Slow and steady.

I wouldn't even think about containing myself. I'd have a dent in the tank and the plastics cracked within a week! Probably my tail bone also.

All I do is spray some kind of cleaning solvent and use and air compressor. Spray them down wait an hour or so and spray compressed air through them.

That is not a clean carb....thats a half assed attempted at a kid cleaning a carb not knowing WTF he is doing.
Soak the carb in pinesolve for 30 mins to an 3 hours. It will eat everything off it and it will cost you $5. I do this with all my carbs...much longer it will eat the metal. Do no soak your slide or anything made from carbon steal. It will rust it with in about 5 mins.
Rinse off in hot water with dish soap, let dry and install few hours or next day later. You will want a new carb seal also. That one is just too old anymore and if you pull it out it will not seal correctly again.
Soak the brass jets and aluminum only, nothing else. Rest just use carb clearner and compressed air. Also once its back together never let it sit with gas in in the bowls. Drain it out and always run fuel cleaner in every tank. Gas goes bad after 2 weeks now days. Installed a fuel filter also...I sell them down to 150 microns. Use clear fuel lines and you should be golden.
Follow my directions and you will be fine. Do not follow them and well then I give no meows what happens.

The bowl is the only part that looks like that. Everything else I used compressed air and carb cleaner and a paperclip.i can see through the other sides of the Jets when I look through them. Where can I get pinesolve? My Walmart doesn't Have it (Imagine that)
