I had a previous post as "newby", I just become the proud owner of an 02 TBA that has not been started up for a couple years. Today I installed a new battery, changed the oil and filter, put in a little fuel and got nothing. I suspect I'll have to pull the carbs and clean them, but I'm not sure what is the best method.
Do I remove the small intake piece from the cylinder head to create enough space to get them off? I loosened the rubber piece (two clamps), but that doesn't seem to allow any wiggle room.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I also tried to remove the bowls, but as luck would have it each one had at least one screw that wouldn't budge and I didn't want to round out the screw head, so I stopped.
If any one is located near Waldorf, Maryland and could lend a helping hand, to get me going, I'd be forever greatful!
Thanks,
Bill
P.S. how do I post a pic? I've noticed a couple loose wire connectors....is the wiring harness made for different configurations....thinking California smog laws?? One is underneath the tank and another is hanging down behind the battery, both have a two prong connector.
