Removed and cleaned carbs

It's never easy to remove a set of carbs from a bike with the stock airbox intact.  This bike was no exception, but I've had worse.  Once I removed the battery and battery box, loosened up the airbox and removed the boots, the carbs were off in short order.


As shown in the pictures, the right carb had a white buildup and the left one was fairly clean.  I'm very disappointed in myself because I somehow lost the float valve needle from the right carb!  I searched tirelessly but could not find it.  I began to think that maybe it was missing before I opened it, but my pictures prove otherwise; I screwed up!  I left two of the bowl screws removed to remind myself not to install that carb without the needle.


I took this picture to remind myself how the battery box slides in.

If you look closely,this picture shows the float valve intact

Notice the missing part.
