finished these 1984 Honda Gold Wing carbs today, bolt on runners ready for another 36 years of service

 

[ducatiman]

Been awhile, thought I'd drop in. Currently doing an especially nasty set of Ducati/Mikuni's. A couple of before/after shots, but still in process.

 

[ducatiman]

completed them this afternoon ...one more before/after

 

[ducatiman]

recently did a set of Australian import 1991 CBR250RR MC22 4 cyl 17,000RPM screamer carb set. Owner reports now starts/runs excellent once again.

 

[ducatiman]

rained all day here.....perfect for equipment maintenance followed by a 250 refurb. As you can see....worked out perfect.

 

[ducatiman]

followed by yet another rainy day....a set of EX500 carbs up for today. Clearin' my plate for good riding weather.

 

[ducatiman]

been awhile....sold a set of refurbed 250's today AND banged out a refurb on a set of 5 hunnerds. Productive day.

 

[ducatiman]

a recent client from Texas offering some feedback re my service.................

[ducatiman]

taking full advantage of the carb "off season"..... researching and learning the inner workings of fuel injectors. Experimenting with a new machine (in my possession) with built in reverse flow and ultrasonic capabilities. 1st testbed my Toyota Matrix 2.4 Denso injectors, pulled and cleaned....WOW what a difference. I thought it was running ok at 80K miles, but now discernably smoother (everywhere) and more powerful. I did notice (after cleaning) the spray pattern had dramatically improved. I'll monitor fuel efficiency going forward.

Next up to be my Ducati SS800 (Weber-Marelli injectors) when warmer weather allows.

You do an amazing job. They really are great feats of engineering in those carbs.

 

[ducatiman]

thank you, Vinny. Learning, attempting to do the same with FI.

 

[ducatiman]

a set of carbs offa Ducati 900SS/FE in house right now, owner advises dormant since 2001, whoa. Pic'll follow.

 

[ducatiman]

pics as promise...before/after. Some findings included rock hard (original?) orings, pilot screws set 5 turns out! (way too far), ovaled needle jets (replaced with new)

Hello,

You do fantastic work on carbs. Is injector-cleaning something you're going to offer in the future, or is this more for self-research and learning?
I have an engine-build I'm hoping to pick back up in the summer, and it'd be nice to know of other cleaning-service options other than RC, etc.

 

[ducatiman]

initially, my intent was research, learning, doing my own injector services whether bike or auto. I'd def entertain doing them commercially.

 

[ducatiman]

still at it here, season seems to be ramping up. Recent jobs include multiple EX250, 500 and Ducati carb sets (pictured)

 

[ducatiman]

hey, been a long while.....showin' off todays job...EX500 carb refurb. Came out nice, passed all tests too.

 

[ducatiman]

checking in after yet another long silence.....currently on a set of 900 Ducati / 38mm Mikuni's left with fuel for 13 years as reported by owner!

Note...the "In process" pics were taken prior to any tuning adjustments.

Anyways.....from this (before) to this (after)

 

[ducatiman]

currently doing a full refurb on another 900SS Ducati carbset....awaiting delivery of requested sized main jets and i'll be done. Comin' out nice, eh?

 

[ducatiman]

today completed an EX500 Kawasaki full refurb, were in my possession less than 24 hours!
