carb float-bowls stuck

#1 PostAuthor: dave3d » Thu Feb 19, 2009 8:56 am

HI... first post.

KZ 900 1976
The float bowls on my carbs are stuck, can't git'em out... The bike has been still for 5 years mind, and there is some gunk in the bowls for sure. I'm thinking of taking them to the bench-vice... any advice. Cheers

Dave
