Ok guys - sorry for the delay, but a ton-o-crap happened since my last post and I had to put the bike on hold while I dealt with the other issues. Anyway, I got everything back on the bike and she fired right up and purred like she was meant to. It appears that I just didn't do a good enough job cleaning the first time (and should have pulled the idle mix screws at that time as well). Another lesson learned the hard way. However, I haven't been able to take her out on the road yet because...
Now she has a fuel leak
Seems like it's coming from the left side carb where the fuel line (tube) enters, just after the 'T' fitting. I looked at the diagram and it seems that there are some o-rings that seal the line, and I guess that one has now failed.
My question for the experts is: can I replace that o-ring with the carbs still on the bike or am i looking at pulling them for a third time?!?!? I can't see how, but hoping maybe there is a trick or two that can be used.
Thanks,
Brad
