Default Update

So I took the motor apart today to send the injectors out for cleaning. Went easy. Again it seems to run fine but I was surprised by the amount of oil inside the throttle body (I pre-mix) and especially the gunk on the outside of the butterflys. I'v never been inside one of these before. Is that normal? See the pics at the attached link.

The reeds looked better than I though they would. Only two or three have a visible gap and it seemed like it was less than the .020 spec but I didn't measure them. I'm going to put new Carsons in anyway.

I don't see anything abnormal. Those reeds still look really good IMO. The buildup of carbon is completely normal, and occurs on any throttle blade assembly that runs dry. Cleaning it is part of an induction service that shops reccomend be performed every 30K miles in a road going engine.
