Clean your carburetor with Killswitch Queen

So far, my understanding of how carburettors work has been a wrong quote from Jeremy Clarkson. "Air and fuel get into the carburetor, witchcraft happens and you go faster."

Although fuel injection moves witchcraft in a computer that is relatively easy to program and control, the wide range of nozzles, ports, needles and slides in a carburetor has always been confusing. It is worse if two, three or four of them are connected. The thought of going in frightened me because the bike will never run again. Thanks to Killswitch Queen , my fear is gone.

The carburettors in question are a series of four from a 2003 Suzuki Bandit 1200. It is a facility similar to many sports bikes and the old UJMs I used to drive . What you see here can be applied to any engine configuration. The theory is the same. There are simply four independent carbohydrates that are screwed together and synchronized with each other.

The video starts with the basics like removing and cleaning the floating bowl. Olivia then goes step by step through the process of removing and dismantling each piece. Some are easier than others, and you can see things you should try if things don't go so well. Explains tips and tricks for removing old parts and seals, cleaning and assembling, preferably without missing parts. This process is divided into three videos because it is quite long, but the details are important and everything is covered here.

My own Kawasaki KLR 650 has a single cylinder and carburetor. The previous owner did a great job of servicing it and it doesn't need to be cleaned as quickly. In short, it will be. Thanks to these videos, I'm no longer afraid to dive into them. To quote Jeremy Clarkson again, "How hard can it be?"

Let's block the ads! (Why?)
