So I stored my my bike for the winter and added the stabil to late I guess...

Wouldnt rev past 4k or so on its own but redlines with carb cleaner sprayed into airbox.

leads me to believe that the jets are clogged or varnished because it sat.

So I try fill the carbs with the STP cleaner and let it set for about 1.5 weeks...

It does rev up to about 6k on its own now and the carb cleaner obviously still redlines.

but this is not normal...

So I resigned to dismantle my carbs and clean them.

my first question is... There are a lot of green um... specs spattered here and there on the main jet and the pilot jet and the pilot screw... what the hell is this.... It smears on paper the way ink does...

second question... I was able to remove the thre components just mentioned but I am not sure how to remove the starter jet and the pilot air jet... My service manual tells me to. Just want to be very thorough.

and the people are right the service manual is not very descriptive... duh remove, clean, replace... what the hell is that?

Thanks for your help... I am sitting cleaning while going over the fourm lol

Also for the pilot screw setting.. I wrote down the turns for each carb but I lost it and my memory aint worth ****....

Also the #1 carb's screw was way the hell out? this normal. Bike ran fine before so maybe its supposed to be like this...?

All the others were the same... around 2-3 turns out
