I'm talking about removing the carbs, removing the bowls and start cleaning after that. Usually you can do all of this without damaging a gasket or seal.

Tsubaki if you go that far why would you not just do the rebuild?

willy, i pulled the carbs on that yamaha i bought last year and it was no biggie. they are very simple to tear down and reassemble. just make sure to mark the bowls to the tops if you take them apart all at once. also sierra makes a kit for them with gskts for not very much.

I was exaclty where you were at early this season.....after flip flopping back and forth I finally didnt have the guts to do myself ...cost me $475 for a rebuild (+ $40 he charged for a link and sync as he said someone prior to me had been monkeying bad with the carbs)....next time I might go for it on my own.... but it was kind of nice dropping it off and picking it up done....

If they have never been apart to your knowledge, I would get carb kits for em before tearing em apart. Once gaskets get to be about 7-8 years old they tend to lose there pliability and get brittle. Try a HEAVY shot of SEAFOAM and gas through the fuel system first though. Get a small tank and hook-up with 5 gallons of gas in it and about 1 quart of SEAFOAM in it, and I like to mix in some BERRYMAN CHEM-TOOL with it as well(about a pints worth). Run it for about 15 minutes and then let it sit for an hour. Then run it again for 15 minutes and let it sit overnight. Start it up the next day and see if it will idle. Best case scenario this will flush em out and you'll be good to go, worst case scenario it doesn't help your carbs but de-carbons the engine which it probably needs anyways and you have to build the carbs anyways.
