KZ650 24mm Carb - Pilot Jet Removal?

17 May 2011 11:03

Started cleaning a set of 650 24mm carbs, never worked on them before.
Only 26 and 28's.
The pilot jet is recessed down in to the body.
Not like the 900 carbs,were the pilot jet is right out there.
Before I attempt removal??? Or should I just use carb solvent and compressed air?
My plans are to sell them. I want to make sure they are clean!
The bowls are clean, the drain plugs came out, I cleaned them so they work.

Thanks for any tips.

Guess I figured it out!!!!!!!!!

Bet all them 650 carbs out there have clogged pilot jets!

They came out.

Needed a .002 drill to get them to open up. Needed a magnifyin glass with bi-focals WTF?

Put new Viton o-rings on the bleed tubes, cleaned the drain plugs too!

4 hours and a $100 labor for $75 dollar carbs. I'm gonna buy a 650 now! Just to use these carbs!
