Peer Review - New Carb Rebuild Tutorial

[miked]

really good stuff, impressed.

slide 38, might want to note the the main jet without the washer is shown attached at the bottom of the needle jet

slide 40, what size/mm socket is optimal?

slide 46 & 74, might be able to reduce the overall size by removing the background gradient? dunno

slides 48, 49, 50 awesomeness on full display

slide 69 wow, yuck

slide 71, "too" should be "to" in the red text top R box

slide 74, the only place the yellow didn't work for me was on 74, but not a big deal. might want to note which way is open on the pilot jet note (open = clockwise, close = counter, etc). maybe something about being tender with closing the jets into the seats so that the seats don't get ruined? include a link to a doc on how to vacuum sync?

clearly lots of work went into this, really good stuff, well done, will look forward to using the final version here soon myself. nice job, thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Is there a way to identify the different similar models of carbs? As I said I have 3 in my possession, and they are each slightly different. If possible it might be helpful to include this information, if not in this tutorial some where else.

you can use a caliper like the one shown in the pdf to measure the bore of the carb at the boot side to get diameter (32,34, 36, etc)

I've always used the Sudco website for carb identification, it takes some time digging around but I've always been able to find what I was after.

2 more thoughts.
When re-assembleing the 4 carbs together, it's much easier to add and clamp the hoses to the tees before rather than after.
In Bloemer's original (which I have used several times) He used a "special" home made tool to be sure all the tiny holes in the needle jet and pilot jet are clear. This was usefull for me, as there was still gunk after dipping.

Updated again, and further compressed.

Almost done pending worthy suggestions.

Looks good to me. Anybody else see anything?

This is probably grossly pedantic, but there is a typo on Pg. 6: 'Striped' should be 'stripped,' Pg. 51, 'though' should be 'through.' That is all I found! I am especially appreciative of the section detailing the thickness of the spacer on the slide. It helped me realize that I put the spacers in the wrong spot when I installed them.

Your feedback is much appreciated! If you, or anyone else, finds any other errors please point them out. Details like this are my weakness and I need help.

Ed,
This is a very nice bit of work!! I just wish it was available a few years back when I pulled mine!

Just a last comment - please put your name on it.

Posted the last update (hopefully). Added a cover page and some more O-ring info.

Thanks to everyone for the help.
