yes, actually, a lot of progress!!
havent checked this thread in about a week...
A special "thank you" to Sandy for the socket idea - it worked very well! (the 12 point works better than a 6 point tho!!)
Really liked the carb kit from z1 - had pretty much everything one could need in it...
so - for an update on my progress -
carbs were completely disassembled
thoroughly cleaned (found a plugged passage or two in the process - no wonder the poor thing wasnt idling very well!)
new pieces and parts are installed in the clean carbs.
carb rack is re-assembled (except for the choke slide - need to get that back in yet), and I am waiting on an auxiliary fuel tank so i can check float levels (should be here by end of the week).
once float levels are established, it will be time to get them back on the bike and hope like h#ll she fires so i can get things set...(another use for the aux. tank...figured with 4 carbed bikes, purchasing one wouldnt be too bad an idea)
as a side note, got the fuel tank all cleaned out, new petcock installed and have new fuel line and an inline filter waiting and ready to go.
