BMW R80 Carb Rebuild

[gsworkshop]

To effectively rebuild the carbs I always replace the following if I do not know the history of the bike:
1 - Diaphragms
2 - Floats
3 - Float needles
4 - Float gaskets
5 - Choke gaskets
6 - Nozzle needles
7 - Needle jets
8 - Four small O-rings / Two on primary jet and two on idle mixture screws.
9 - Two Larger O-rings on the venturi

I also like to add two cables to attach the float bowls on the main housing to prevent them from being lost if they do come loose.
I will shoot a few pics and show you how to do this next time you replace the fuel cables as the old Bowen cable make the perfect cable for the float bowl savers.
