Splitting dual carbs...

Hi,

I have my brand new P901 manifold (one of two actually). I am really
interested in getting a HSR 42. I have let TWO GET AWAY on ebay!!!

My dual carbs are Jekyll and Hyde! One works fine and the other is way
too lean. I have fiddled with it until I am tired of messing with it. I
am considering splitting the carbs. I have had them out and back in 8
times. They are "linked" in 4 places. The diaphragm covers, the throttle
linkage housing, the throttle linkage and the choke. The attach point
for the throttle cables from the handle bar are on the bad carb. The
attach holes for the bracket are not tapped. No biggy. Every attach
point is done with "c" clips. The manual says that once split, they
impossible to re join. I don't see the big deal, but I am not a Yamaha
engineer. Has anyone split them? What are your experiences.

CCworks.org has the rejetting info.

Splitting the carbs is a rare event in cases of carbs damaged by impact or breakage.  They still offer each carb separately, so it is not an impossible...

Jennifer, Thanks for the insightful reply. I forgot to mention that these are Mikunis off a 1997 XV1100. Everything comes apart with either a "C" clip or...

Jennifer, I found the problem. My analysis indicated that the pilot circuit was not working. I had been into every thing except the "plugged" idle jet on top....

I just double-checked the PVC size for seating the seals in step #7 -- it should be 1-1/2". Sorry for any confusion. Steve...
