LeFrog, I just talked to bergdaddy, he has the parts you need and will be in PHX on Friday night. I'm sure he will only charge a couple of beers for shipping. His shop # 505-647-8333; Tim King.

Well, I just talked to him and he'll bring the parts with him but he too thinks the stator is tostada.
Sorry, Dale, forgot to give him your best.

Well, what do you know, it was the carb. After blowing carb cleaner and air, then putting it back (getting good at that, by the way), whaddayaknow, it fired in 3 kicks.
Is it a common Dellorto procedure to clean up said carburettor every other ride?

Taffy you have weird fantasies.
Actually all this was a ploy to make them think that I was going to miss the Phoenix group ride and they actually started to celebrate but now I have to break the news.

If you are having troubles with creeping crud getting in the carb, install a in line fuel filter. The loose connection I would tape good and fix it somewhere so it would not hang.
Keep your eye open for tent stakes and rope and by the way there aren`t any ant hills around there are there :roll: ? Usually its something simple. Glad your up and running.

Hey Frog, I run two inline filters(one from each petcock). Dirt also enters the carb through the vent tubes and the carb inlet. This is why dirt bike guys are always keeping clean air filters(I have three air filters, two are always clean, the filter on the Berg is the easiest to change of any bike). I have a clean air filter every time I go riding. Also I clean the the carb at every other oil change(it is easy). If you do not have an air compressor, brake cleaner will make a good substitute, remove the carb from the bike, remove the float bowl, all the jets. Note your fuel screw and idle screw settings, then back them out all the way(or remove them). Blow the brake cleaner or compressed air through ALL the passages(don't forget to open the choke). Once you do this a few times, you will get quick at it and it should only take 15-20 min(One beer-two if you drink more than wrench). Remember...a clean bike always runs good...a dirty bike will always run like s@#t. JM2C :rant:
I am getting better at removing and putting the carb back too. First time I put it back, it took me one hour. This time it took me 5 minutes.
The issue here is that the water is high in calcium and I fear that if I wash the carb after using cleaner, I may do more harm than good. What would you suggest I use? Water and vinegar mix?
I usually clean my air filter after every 3 or 4 rides, I guess this may not be enough so I'll go ahead and clean it up after every 2 rides and see. That and inline filter should help.
It's true that the bike was bogging a bit on the trail and skipped a couple beats.

Hey, guys, I'd like to offer a tip on jet cleaning I learned a few weeks ago. I had some jets that had 5 year-old gas residue crusted all over them. I found that by spraying some gasket remover spray on them (I think it's made by Versachem or permatex...green spray can) and let them soak for a while, it loosens even that horrible concrete residue. It also worked well on the tiny jet orifices in the choke jet passages. Just don't let it dry on there, and don't try to taste it......It tastes awful! 8O Spray it on the outside of the carb and it will dissolve corrosion and fuel residue and make your old crappy delorto look and feel like a, well, new crappy delorto. :roll: P.S. I use Visene to squirt through the jets to see if they're clogged; that way when it invariably hits my eye I'm covered! 8)
Would the gasket remover be a good product to remove residue of sealant when cleaning the rocker and cluth covers?
Also wonder if it would not be a good idea to take the carb apart and remove all the gaskets before using the product.

Well, Frog, I think it'd depend on what type of sealer you're using. The gasket remover works by dissolving the glue in the gasket material. I think it would remove Aviation Formagasket and shellac. As far as disassembling your carb again......DON'T! If it's running good , leave it alone and dirty. Seriously, though, if you spray it on and leave it sit for a few, it washes off with water. Just plug up all the holes and you'll be alright.LeFrog said:
Frog, there are a couple of good reasons to use brake cleaner(in an aerosol can). #1 It is under high pressure. #2 It has good solvent properties without damaging o-rings #3 It dries without leaving any residue.
I know and use it too but I was not too happy with the result on certain type of dirt, which is why I decided to use carb cleaner.

If your using the concentrated carb cleaner in a one gallon paint type of can with the nice little basket (like most shops use) that stuff is neutralized by water. Stuff is way more nasty than the diluted crap in a spray can and will even remove your finger prints after time, however your carb will look like new after a night soaking. Don't put any rubber in this stuff or it will swell up like a wedding ......, you know what I mean. Simply blow the water out with an air compressor. Once in a while it won't open a plugged pilot (always look through all jets), so strip a piece of automotive style copper wire and use one strand to push through the softened goo. Soak the jet again or if you're in a hurry blow it out with brake clean. Then hit it with the air again.
