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

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. :shock:

Any suggestions ?

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 :lol:

One final pump check to make sure they all squirt and on they go.

Fingers crossed.
