Carb cleaning

[ozzo098]

What's the best way to go about cleaning my carbs without pulling them apart? I bought it over winter and haven't rode it yet and I just want to get on the water.

That is one dirty engine. Looks like it went 4 wheeling or something. ;-) Taking the carbs apart and cleaning is maybe a 2 hour job. Better off doing this than having some of that crud sucked through the carbs

Yeah it is haha, but I got a good deal on it so I don't mind the cleaning. I'm impatient though, I want to get it on the water on Sunday and don't have any new gaskets to put it back together with.

You could just clean them and reuse all the existing gaskets, etc. I have done that before with no problem. Just go slow when messing with the gaskets. Fully understand the impatience factor!

THere is a good chance used dirty carbs that have been sitting will run lean and blow up your engine. Impatience could get really expensive quick.
