    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1984 850 taking off carbs how do they come off I feel like I'm missing something obvious. :confused:
 
They can be a pain to get off. I have an 85 750 and I started by unbolting the airbox from the frame, then loosening the clamps from the airbox to the carbs. Slide it back as far as it will go, then remove the throttle cable from the carbs, the fuel lines, then loosen the clamps between the carbs and head.
With a slight pulling motion, wiggle the carbs up and down, and they should come off of the head. I had to get in there with a flathead screwdriver and CAREFULLY pry the carbs back so as not to damage the boots.
Once they come out, slide them out either side. Took me about 20 minutes to get mine out.
 
The 850 is easy if it's like the earlier ones. Slide the airbox out to the right side, then you have all the room in the world to remove the carbs, super simple.

I didn't want to yank on them so I was worried I missed a mount or something. Just stuck in the boots is all. But thank you guys for the quick replys.
