Ladies/Gents: Please see attached pictures. I am sending my carbs for ultrasonic cleaning, I have removed most of the parts however the emulsion tube seems to be stuck. I tried tapping it from the other side where the throttle needle slides in. Am I forgetting something here, how do you guys get this out? Thanks in advance. Meilleures salutations, Daryl   |

Hi, find a bolt to wind into the thread then tap the bolt .the tube goes towards the slide to remove. they are some times full of crud on the out side surface also check the small holes /drillings in it.

I just use the jet
Screw it back in without the washer then tap on the bench and it should move up into the slide area

Hi I use an old jet too. Screw an old jet back into place without the washer, and then I use a "G" clamp - 1 end (adjuster part) on the jet, the other over the top of the carb where the top screws on, then gently tighten the clamp. It pushes the tube out rather than knocking it out. If it's tight you can leave it under tension for a bit which may help start to shift it. If it moves but resists all the way, you may have to wind the jet out a bit to add a bit more length to exert pressure on. It can only be removed from the bottom upwards, and on reassembly the groove down the side corresponds with a pip in the carb body so be sure to line it up when popping it back in. Dusty  |

Rather than sending them away for ultrasound send them to muttsnuts for a refurb they sound gunked up and he can machine the brass balls out and give it a proper clean at a very reasonable price -sorted mine out when I was back in pommy land at Christmas and the difference is outstanding

It might be cheaper to fit some other good carbs rather than pay for the carriage and service unless you find someone local or do it yourself. I have seen a thread on here where someone posted how he did it.

Dusty Hi Dusty Great trick Cleaning some A/C carbs on behalf of a friend and emulsion tube well and truly stuck but a dip in a hot ultrasonic bath and using your clamp trick got them out Thanks again Al |

Glad that worked Al  I never feel happy getting too "medieval" with delicate carb parts !! The G clamp shouldn't damage anything if care is taken |

Just goes to show how well made the bikes are when they still run however roughly when in this state. The designers obviously understood the average teenage owners.

I totally agree with that comment, the poor workmanship and cheap/used parts we threw at our bikes in the early years would be essentially a nightmare for something modern, but back then they knew what to expect i guess. |
