help seperating carbs

Is there anything special except for elbow greese to get these seperated? All joints except the one for the butterflys are loose. I have pried them apart a little but didn't want to go to far without guidance. Thanks

Warouge, Sorry, no help. Am quessing your' cv's are a twin set-up. a look at manual/parts breakdown would show if butterfly shaft is dovetailed or solid. In my experiance, butterflys are installed then staked, w/ some kind of adjustable linkage in mating. I can see why a complete break down is desirable, wish i had more. luck G

The complete breakdown was no help with it either. I have heard others say it is a pain to get them apart and back together and all work correctly. I'm trying not to break anything. If it wasn't for the dust cover over the joint I would soak them as is.

W. ? the breakdown didn't list shaft as 1 or 2 pieces? G./ Also, is it a choke butterfly or throttle?

I was looking at wrong diagram... I found the right one and it shows to remove the butterflys and the shaft will pull out... I feel like an Idot... Hey, I'm new at this.

Thanks for the Help. As soon as the carbs are cleaned and put back together I should be able to take it for my first ride on it.

take all the screws out and trip as youre carrying them across the floor making sure they land on bench,ive found this technique works very well for things i just spent too much time trying to put together,hope this helps !:laugh:

W, respectfully, dis-agree w Plummen.Butterflys are usually a precise fit in bore and once disturbed a pain to re-align. thus my querie as to whther choke or throttle. If seperating carbs is manditory, ie leaking fuel tubes. I rec. removing the plate furthest from linkage arm and not disturbing other. If possible cleaning w/out removing plates, seperating carbs, is 1st opt. Luck G
