20 mins to remove carb
20 mins to clean bench off
20 mins to open carb and remove and spray power valve and all passages
20 mins to reinstall carb.
(Generous time scales)
If carb was rebuilt as recently as you say, I bet the top gasket is still reusable. Spray straw all the emulsion tubes and passages w carb cleaner while apart. If you have not worked on Qjets feel free to ask any questions. Hidden screws etc.
This is the answer i was hoping for.
I have very little carb experience but lots of experience opening up things i know nothing about.
I'll do some reasearch and get into itthis weekend- thanks
