They can be tricky. Damn, I love my FI!rworkman98 said:I wish I'd tried that first. I screwed my carbs up by disassembling them...
Sprayed some carb cleaner in the carbs this weekend
I went to Autozone and bought some spray in carb cleaner for the SV. I removed the airbox and sprayed it in there. I noticed a difference almost immediately. Then, this morning, I noticed it again.
It was so difficult to start before and now it's much easier. I still need to choke it, but not nearly as long to keep it running.
Quicker and cheaper than an all-out carb clean.

At least you get a code with FI. That almost always tells you what the problem is instead of tinkering for days on end to figure it out.Gas Man said:I agree NW... carbs are tried and true... and yeah they have their quirks...but that FI that everybody loves is great till it starts going wrong and throwing codes!!
Not really. You can get codes from the internet and manuals for most bikes. Tripping them isn't that hard either.

The kids can help! That's how I learned. :dthumb:

There you go Shan. Shouldn't cost more than $30 or $40 to ship round trip insured.
