    Try this link mrblades

    And welcome, post some pics of your bike in the forums if you like.

    You should think about getting the XJCD V4. lots of info, owners manuals, service manuals, all kinds of carb info and lots of tips and tricks.
    Well worth the $10.00
    You can find it in the links section.

    Hey, I did the total card job last year on my bike. I spent a good week taking it all appart, soaking the parts in paint thinner and then putting it back together. All this, was done with the help of the "Haynes Manual", I have a few pictures in my galery if you want to check them out. There is not a lot of details but it will give you a general idea. I must admit that I was afraid to do that kind of work since I am not a mechanic, but don't let that keep you from getting your hands dirty. The manual realy helps you with many detailed pictures. I will be investing in that CD soon my self and I am sure it is worth my money since I am looking in getting a SECA 650. Good luck with the work, have a great day. 8)

    How about these dirty pics?
    Hopefully you won't find anything like this.
    The top pic has some parts removed already.

    Thanks for all the pics. Sorry to be confusing, but I have already done the carbs. I am working on a presentation on carburators for my engineering class and have deleted all my carb pics. And mine did look like the ones in the pictures, they had sat for 10 years with gas in them. Thanks a bunch for the replys. And I hope everyone else has as much success with their carbs as I did.

    Oh, one quick question, does anyone have some "after" pics? So I can show what the insides are supposed to look like without all the gunk. Thanks
