Vm28mm carbs

The choke plunges keep sticking on 1,2.3 carbs ,the lifting gear from cable down woods what is the best lube to use 3in1 oil to prevent it happening again.

The best lube is ... NONE.

Remove the plungers, polish them up. Clean out the bores, re-install the plungers.

Most any lube you put in there will attract any dirt that might happen by, and will crud everything up, resulting in the situation you currently have.

i can sell you the bits you need to convert them to lever choke if you want, same as the 26's.

Make sure you have the lifting arms lined up correctly at right angles and the right way up as well.

Thanks guys its never been a problem before and as bike has been stood around for past two summers with all its problems I wont go there....

[hampshirehog]

If she's stood around then it's a safe bet that the inside of the cylinders have got caulky with alloy corrosion. You'll have to pull the plungers out and polish the internals.

Sorted this problem out thank you all, now got another one number 3 carb keep piddling petrol out of float bowl pipe every time I stop at a set of traffic lights or its just ticking over when its running it goes really well..

[chuck hahn]

Sticky float needle or float ht slightly to low would be my guess..Can raise the ht 1 MM and see if that solves the problem.

EDIT...check to see if the overflow tube is loose in the bowl or hasn't got any cracks in it. Float hts may be OK but there be damage to the tube itself.

[Katarat]

First thing Id check is to make sure the drain screw is tight. The name has been changed to protect the dumass that didnt once before

[chuck hahn]

And the 4 bowl screws themselves..yes I am guilty of that one once.

Thanks for posting and reminding me..GHEEZ!!!

[gshub]

Think I'm sort took float bowl off, pin out of float, then needle jet out the brass thingy the needle sits in was blocked blew it out ,put all back together it fired up straight away left it to tick over for a while no more tiddling on garage floor road test soon.....
