Hi, after being stood out in the worst of the winter weather my poor Nevada is not happy about it and is now complaining about it, and I can hardly blame her, and I am ashamed!
After a bad back/misfire on the left pot I took the carbs off to check for crud and water. Some time ago I replaced the stock airfilter for some pods, and they`re not very well protected from the wet.
Whilst taking the carbs off I found that both the choke pistons are stuck, absolutely stuck fast, there`s no budging them . I realise that both the rubber sealed sleeves that cover the cable entry into the choke shaft were badly damaged and water has had free access to the orifice and has obviously been sitting in there for a good while.
The cables are hanging from the choke fitting and I`m in a jam, I`m a bit worried about causing damage to the carb itself. Anyone got ideas on how to free them off and shift them?
Thanks, Martin
Ps. I cant seem to be able to pull the float pins, am I right in assuming these are simply a push fit? I see no threads on the Dellorto parts diagram.
Thanks again
