This morning I took the carbs off my Pacific Coast. The hardest parts of the operation were 1) figuring out how to get the throttle cables detached and 2) freeing the carbs from the engine. Here are a few photos of the process.
Air filter off. Rags are stuffed in the carbs so rain/dirt/etc doesn’t fall inside.
The bike is positively looking like a parts bike! Here the carbs are removed. Rags are stuffed in the holes leading to the pistons and in the larger hoses that I had to disconnect. Make sure to do this job in a well ventilated area. Lots and lots of gas came out when I pulled off the carbs.
