oddball problem

A thorough cleaning of my FZR1000's carburetors is an all day affair that
leaves me with an aching back.

Replacing a spark plug requires removing the gas tank, air box and even the
ignition coils.

 

If I had an outboard motor that needed pickling, or an old car that needed
de-carbonizing, I might use Sea Foam, which is mostly a light *oil* with
some isopropyl alcohol added to absorb water in the float bowls.

Another product that doesn't work for dissolving carburetor gum and varnish
is Chevron's Techron, which is mostly petroleum distillate.

 

Well, I can understand that. By your maths, it takes up to 16 hours to
get to the carbs and then button everything up again.

Just proves you're a useless mechanic, which is what we all know anyway.

So?

 

Sea Foam does work. Do some research or try it.

 

Heh. This is Krusty, c'mon!

You know he's been telling some newbie to use his magic gloop to
overcome a slipping clutch problem?

 

Liar...and you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground about
carburtors you plagerizing piece of shit. Now...**** off you racist
hack.

 

Keith :

You liar! I don't even know what a carburtor is. I've never even *seen*
a carburtor!



Hey, did you ever get my semen stains out of your shirt?

 

Keith is so wasted on his meds he doesn't even know who he gave a BJ
to.

 

Then why on earth do you let them get to the point that they need
"thorough cleaning"? Any mechanically competent owner would prevent
the bike from falling into such disrepair in the first place.

 

Believe it or not, some riders do not worship their motorcycles, they
do not polish their helmets, nor caress their leathers when they are
snowed in by a blizzard.

Nor do they lay awake nights thinking about the accumulation of grease
under their swing arm.

Such riders wait for the tell tale symptoms of gum and varnish
accumulation in their carburetors and when the motorcycle resists
starting, they do not tear the motorcycle all apart to clean the
carburetors, they use chemicals added to the gasoline.

Then they go riding and let the chemicals do the job for them.

Works for me, but you may have guilt feelings for taking the easy way
out...

 

What works for you? You're the one whining and snivelling about how a
"thorough cleaning of [you] FZR1000's carburetors is an all day
affair that leaves [you] with an aching back," so obviously not only
do you not worship your motorcycle, you "wait for the tell tale
symptoms of gum and varnish accumulation in [your] carburetors." Any
mechanically competent owner would prevent the bike from falling into
such disrepair in the first place.

You are either a liar or you are making shit up for entertainment, or
- at best - you are lazy and neglect your motorcycle. Most likely,
all of the above.

I've NEVER had a motorcycle I own display symptoms of gum and varnish
accumulation in the carburetors, but then, I maintain my motorcycles
properly, both when I do the work myself and when I take the
motorcycle to a shop for work to be done.

The "easy way out" is properly maintaining the bike in the first
place, as any reasonably mechanically competent motorcycle owner
knows. Those owners don't wreck their backs disassembling
motorcycles because they neglected them to the point that they would
not run properly.

 

You're being ridiculous now.

If you ever owned an FZR1000 you'd know that you cannot drain the
float bowls prior to winter storage because the carbs are inaccessible
without removing the seat, draining the gas tank, unbolting and
lifting it up so you can block it up somehow prior to disconnecting
the evaporative control hoses and fuel level connector, then manually
shutting off the fuel valve, disconnecting the fuel hose, and
carefully lifting the gas tank off to avoid scratching it, then
finding a safe place to set it down so it doesn't tip over and dent
itself, and then removing the airbox and hoses.

The float bowl drain screws are still inaccessible but you can *see*
them once you've removed all that stuff.

It would make more sense to disable the electric fuel pump and run the
engine until it runs out of gasoline, but you won't burn *all* of the
gasoline out of the float bowls, the carbs will stop sucking gas out
of the bowls when the fuel level drops below the pilot jet.

And there is *still* enough gasoline in the bottom of the float bowls
to evaporate during winter storage and gum up the *starter jet* which
is buried in the bottom of the float bowl!

So my method of adding some Berryman B12 to the gasoline, shaking the
bike until it mixes with the gasoline, then turning on the ignition
switch so the pump will fill up the float bowls, and then shutting off
the key and waiting until the next day so the B12 can work on the
starter jet and idle jets before trying to start the engine is what
works for me.

Isn't that simpler than taking a bunch of stuff apart and putting it
back together and hurting my back in the process?

 

Actually, I'm just wondering why you're being so ridiculous about this
subject. First you say you wreck your back disassembling your bike to
clean your carbs, and then you say people who don't wreck their backs
are "taking the easy way out" and now you say that YOU "take the easy
way out" and that you *don't* wreck your back. I sure wish you'd make
up your mind about what lies you like the best, and then just stick
with them!

I'd never want to own a back-wrecking fat pighog of a bike like that,
although once I did ride one owned by an acquaintance - there was no
reason to ever consider owning one after that.

You're the one who said that cleaning your FZR1000's carburetors is an
all day
affair that leaves you with an aching back, Now you're saying that
you don't do that.

Sheesh.

Why don't you just add Stabil to the last tank of gas before you stop
riding for the "winter" out there in sunny California?

Better yet, why don't you just ride the bike on one or two nice days
during the "winter" ?

 

hey fucktard who asked child molestation advocate like you to open
that sorry mouth of yours? Hmmm? You ought to have been drowned at
birth except the bitch that whelped you was to whacked out on heroin
at the time.

 

heh replying twice again aren't you junkie? How's that "it's okay to
rape underage mexicans" working for you? hmm? Now do me a favor....die.

 

Don't you have *any* friends at all, out there in the wilds of
Montana?

Sitting at your keyboard and typing angry messages to the vast
emptiness of cyberspace isn't exactly mentally healthy, yannow....

 

Acutally you child rapist I have more friends in montana than you've
ever had. Then again, a **** up like you has NEVER had a friend.

 

Actually, you need a psychiatrist, Keith.

 

projecting again aren't you? LOL your are more pathetic that a meth
head that steals the rims off an aries k car.

 

So *that's* how you get your money to buy drugs!
