Re: Hello Im a new owner of a GZ250 in MD
As I stated above the carbs were not ruined,nor did I say they came off a bike.This was long time ago,and carbs that came off different vehicles,mostly Quadrajet Chev's.
Enough said!

Re: Hello Im a new owner of a GZ250 in MD
Wow things can get hot quick here. Well I went down to the local parts store and purchased some carb cleaner that is used for rebuilding. I soaked all the parts for 30 minutes and commenced to reassembling the carb. Everything went together smooth and I verified my float settings. The carb is pretty straight forward I just wished the Japanese would use better quality bolts and screws. The metal is soft and easily strips. After getting everything together I installed the carb without removing the airbox (thanks to the forum). The bike started pretty easy and ran very good. No popping and the idle was much smoother. I took the bike on a 100 mile ride this weekend and it ran perfectly until I forgot to turn it off for 3 hours. Looks like the battery needs a recharge now. The bike is good Thanks for the help.

I had to replace mine after one deep discharge......but it was about 3 years old at the time and I don't know what the PO did with it in the winter. Glad to hear that your manual cleaning was successful. It's MUCH easier on a bike with only ONE carb to do !!! Using a shot of carb cleaner about twice a year should prevent having to do the manual process again.
