Great work! Still have that extra set of CV carbs? I'd be really interested in them.

Great work! Still have that extra set of CV carbs? I'd be really interested in them.

I paired them up with the engine off my '81 parts bike until I can finish getting a set of VB44Cs together. Once I have a complete set of 44Cs, they might be up for grabs, but for now I want to keep them so I have a bolt-in-and-go spare engine setup. If you are looking for spare parts, instead of a full rack, I have a box with a bunch of parts from VB44As.

I did a little more on that nasty set of carbs today.
I had to use a hammer and punch to get the float pins out. Then pliers to pull the float needles. I pulled the slow jets using vice grips.
I am still not ready to disassemble this rack. probably during the next cleaning session.
Here is the rack after sitting in simple green for 10 hours. Only 3 of the 4 would fit into the container I had.




The 3 floats that soaked and the 1 that did not:


The little bits (I kept them separated by carb)


and the slow jets


It is obvious that much work remains to be done. After I have gotten most of the crud out using simple green, I will finish the clean up with carb cleaner.

You should get one of those ultrasonic cleaners from harbor freight or something. Those things will really clean the carbs.
