Roxy: Carb Cleaning

Decided enough was enough.  Time to pull the carb off completely and give it a good soak.  Removed the carb and did the 2-hour Pine Sol dip.  After it came out, I sprayed WD40 through the slow circuit several times. 

Put it back on the bike, and also changed the fuel line from carb to filter (since I had to cut off the old one).

Bike started and held a weak idle, but I want to give it 24 hours to let all the WD40 get cleaned out of the system.  If the idle's still weak tomorrow... well, back to the square one.



Also took the opportunity to clean the air filter.  Just washed it out and I'll let it dry overnight, then apply the oil.
