Hi all, rebuilding/cleaning carbs off of a Honda VT500FT.
Considering how my previous cleaning totally failed I want to do it right.
I've taken out the
Intake brass things with the filters
2 jets
needles and diaphragms
floats
float needles
bowl drain screws
Questions
A. Don't see ANY o-rings or seals in the carb of ANY sort. I'm sure I saw that the carb gasket kit includes the bowl gasket and 2 o-rings...????? Am I missing something? Are they behind something that isnt obvious?
B. Is the carb cleaner, high pressure compressor method sufficient? or is there a real benefit in paying to put this in some sort of sonic/vibrating machine.
C. This is a stock 500cc non performance bike. Will new jets (jet kit) improve the performance and the way it runs? 6SigmaJets has a kit they claim will improve the bike alot for $50 USD. Not looking for performance but just want it to run like a clock. Is it worth it?
Thanks
