the Carburetor Chronicles
In an ongoing effort to voluntarily streamline the carb section, I will heretofore post ALL my carb fun /work /crap /pictures /challenges /drama /etc within this thread. I will not include Custom Carb Service VENDOR business chatter, which I will continue to keep separate thus adhering to forum rules.
Apologies for the past clutter, this should put the carb section on a radical diet.
I will commence with these Ducati BDST38 Mikuni carbs, my property, and sorely in need of refurb.
More to follow. Holiday weekend OFF.

Finishing up a set of Keihin CR 31 for EX250. Pics will eventually follow. Just set float heights to spec, wrapping it up now.

finished a set of 250's today. Perfect in both wet and slide lift tests, inner circuits immaculate and looky that brass a' shinin'.

these 900 Duc carbs just arrived for refurb, yuch

now mostly disassembled (choke assemblies still in place, soaking in WD40). Dirty beyond belief....after soaking, the emulsion tubes still needed pounding out using a correct size punch and hammer! Thankfully the owner opted for Factory Pro titanium replacements. Pilot and main jets still in place in the "jet block", soaking.
These from a early 90's 900SL (Superlight)....left in place, unrun, filled with fuel for 13 years! See pic to correlate my proof. Anxious to see results after doing some overtime on these......easily the nastiest Duc carbs I've ever encountered.

additionally ....both throttle shafts frozen solid....and today brought them to this.......shafts now free to rotate again

final pics for owner (prior to wet test and final setting of floats and synching) Quite a transformation.
