My GS1100G Blog - Some Butterfly Capers shows how I got the butterflies out.
If you go through the blog there are 5 other recent postings on my carb break down.
My view was that if you have the time (it is winter here in the UK) you might as well go the whole hog and strip every part out. I discovered that one of my butterfly throttle rods was missing its precious seal completely. The other 7 are baked to an almost solid state and can't work very well as an air seal. So it's going to make me feel heaps better knowing when I go for a first start up (after 10 years) that it is not the butterfly seals causing the problem.
Today I have 4 carb bodies with not a single other item attached to or in them. Naked as the day they were cast. I popped them all on the stove and boiled the crap out of them. Literally.
