A pic I took from a sectioned CBX Riders Club UK engine. Hopefully can aid further with visualising topology and operation of the carbs ...

Re: Carb Cutaway pics
That's a great pic..... even shows the accelerator nozzle I'm trying to get to in order to blow carb cleaner in the reverse direction.....seems it's clogged.
Any suggestions ?

Re: Carb Cutaway pics
Good news!!! Searching the archives..... damn they are done nicely (great work Nils)...... several members said just 100 psi blast of air into the check-vavle port exposed when the accelerator pump is removed.....will clear the individual squirter passages in all the carbs...... well it sure works and saved me a ton of trouble trying to figure out a way to get to each squirter nozzel that's pointed in the wrong direction from where you can reach it.
Life is good
One final pump check to make sure they all squirt and on they go.
Fingers crossed.
