Carb questions

[Finian]

Hey,

I have just removed the carb from my 4PT to give it an overhall and was wondering if anyone can answer a few questions.

Is this the same carb as the one depicted in the Clymer manual on the 3AJ. There are no markings on it apart from manufacturers name which I forget (YBIS?). From the pictures in the manual it looks like the same one but I know it must be slightly different as it has a choke lever on the side rather than with a cable.

Also does anyone know how best to remove it. In the end I had to loosen the air box and remove the left hand side cover which I don´t think was a good idea as it was glued on as well as screwed. There seems to be a lot less space than shown for the 3AJ.

It also has a fat tube coming off it with a plastic chunky thing on the end which looks like it should connect into somewhere behind, but wasn´t. Any ideas?

Is it necessary to seperate the two carbs for overhaul or is it better to leave them together.

Which is the best solvent to use to clean it, I was thinking of parafin which is hard to find here or meths.

Does anyone have a manual of any kind that covers the 4PT carb?

Any other tips greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Finian
