Thats funny, last weekend I pulled out my '85 XJ700X carbs too:

Ok gurus do I pull this rack totally apart and do these carbies individual. or do I leave them assembled on the rack and pull them apart your input is greatly appreciated cheers

 

Take the rack apart. Get new throttle shaft seals and o-rings for the fuel tubes that go between the carbs.
Looks like you put that whole rack in the carb soak. Are the floats OK? That stuff is alittle hard on composite floats.
In any case take lots of pictures and just do one carb at a time.
XJ4ever has kits now that have all the parts and screws you will need, including float bowl drain screws.

 

beerhound.. yes, break th rack and put it back together much better than it was b4, they're a very important part of th beast.

 

In the last picture , what up with slots cut into the towers where the pilot screws go?

RvdH's carbs? Look like the towers are cut?

Maybe the pilot screws are stuck or something.

OK 35 minutes just too remove these bloody screws without stripping the heads too pieces





Well not taking this long so out came a good friend

Diaphram hmm wouldn't want that assisting any part of my body lol





After all this came too the grand conclusion SCA CARBY SOAK is C R A P

More pics to follow stay tuned it gets better lol

 

Yes, it turns out the previous owner (or the one before him) cut into the towers to be able to unscrew the pilot screws. They do seem to be unstuck now.
