How do i remove the carbs from the engine? - 2001 kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja

There are various way to clean your carburettor:
First, buy a can of carb cleaner spray.
Start your engine.
[1]: Remove air filter and squirt cleaner into venturi, revving engine via throttle linkage (at carb) to avoid stalling.
[2]: Remove fuel inlet hose from carb and squirt cleaner directly into inlet.

Otherwise:
[3]: If very dirty, the carb may need to be removed by a mechanic and sent in to a professional company for service.

The best way without removing it..is first get some carb cleaner spray and gas additive for carbs..start off with adding the gas additive and run the engine a half hr or do maybe mow the yard..then spray the entire outside of the carb and linkage to remove all the oil and gook buildup..then remove the air cleaner and start the engine and run about one third to half throttle then spray straight into the throttle body..if it Boggs, slow the spay flow raise the speed and continue unti the can is gone...do not get in a hurry let the engine run so it allows the ckeaner to work..The other is to remove the carb dis assemble and clean or replace parts using a rebuild lit...your choice..good luck..

look at this

the 50 and 80 are praticaly the same carb look at the picture nut and bolt
22 and 23 they remove the carb from the engine

u may have to remove the air box or at least the rubber joiner if there is one i expect there is so u can pull the carb out of the engine

and once removed there will be cables for throtle and choke u must remove the top of the carb to unclip the cables they can be fiddly a oil pipe inportant remember where it goes and remember to fit it back on when the carb goes on

it would not be good if u forget

best of luck if :)

Engine hunting is due running lean ( fuel starvation ) there is a blokage in the fuel feed, or in the carb main jet, to clean this properly you need to remove the carb, remove the float bowl, the main jet will be screwed into the centre of the carb, normally a brass jet, once removed blow out the carb bwith an air line to remove dirt trapped in other places.

It is actually very simple. The carbs are mounted to the intake by 2 bolts. There is a clamp on the other end that connects the air filter to the carbs. Before removing these connections you will first turn off the gas to the carbs via the petcock at the tank. You will then remove the throttle and choke linkage, (taking note of how it is attached for reassembly purposes). You may now remove first the air filter clamps then the bolts that connect the carbs to the intake manifold at the engine end of the carbs. I suggest you buy kits to rebuild the carbs, they contain needle valve seats and gaskets. You can disasemble the carbs and soak in carb cleaner overnight..then you will blow them out with compressed air. Make sure you remove the plaque build up in the carb bowls. You can now reassemble with the new gaskets and reinstall in reverse order. Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!

possibly bad fuel pump, plugged fuel filter, dirt in carb, plugged main jet, vacuum leaks, check fuel flow at carb inlet, if good, go on to carb itself , remove carb from engine, take to work surface, disassemble carb,clean all parts with carb cleaner and a soft bristle brush, make sure all jets are clear, blow out with air if you can, reassemble carb, put back on motor, attach linkage, fuel line, try engine, luck

It is not likely to be a clutch problem if pulling in the clutch lever fully dis-engages the engine. If the bike wants to pull forward in first gear even though the clutch is pulled in all the way, then the clutch is not fully dis-engaged. Adjust the clutch cable. If the clutch is working properly then there is an engine problem.

If an engine problem, start by draining the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side or bottom of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. Install a new stock NGK spark plug and try to start the engine. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the idle screw and the air screw on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.

Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two adjusters down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each adjuster one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine.

it sounds as if your carb is dirty remove bowl on carb i"ll bet it's it's dirty if so you will need to remove the carb and clean it

Drain the carburetors. There should be a screw on the lower side of each CARB float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Is there any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Is there any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, (not all bikes have a water trap bowl). Install new stock NGK spark plugs.

Remove the CARBS from the bike.
FOR EACH CARB > Remove the float bowl and clean the entire CARB with a spray CARB cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the CARB. Remove the idle screw and the air screw on the outside throat of the CARB and spray into the screw holes as well.

Now turn each screw one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the CARB back together, clean the air filter and install the CARB. Install an in-line fuel filter. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine.

BALANCE THE CARBS
Turn the throttle screw on the LEFT CARB one half turn inward. Now start the engine and get it warmed up. With the engine running, remove the RIGHT spark plug wire. Adjust the idle speed on the left CARB to the point where the engine just can't quite stay running and dies. Now put the loose spark plug wire back into place.

Now turn the throttle screw on the RIGHT CARB one half turn inward. Restart and rev the engine. Next, remove the LEFT spark plug wire. Adjust the idle speed on the right CARB to the point where the engine just can't quite stay running and dies. Now put the loose spark plug wire back into place.

SYNCHRONIZE THE CARBS
Remove the air filter and rubber fittings to allow you to see into the throat of both CARBS. You may need a mirror to see inside. You need to be able to see the slides go up and down when you twist the throttle. Now turn the fitting where the cable goes into each CARB such that there is just a bit of slack in the cable, 1/16" is plenty. Lock ONE of the cable adjusters down tight. All further adjustments will be made on the other CARB.

With the motor turned off twist the throttle very slowly while looking at the slides. Both slides need to begin lifting at the exact same moment. If the slides don't raise at the exact same time then slowly twist the throttle until the locked adjuster slide just barely starts to move. Hold the throttle still and turn the adjuster on the other CARB so that the slide on that CARB just barely starts to move also. Now recheck the slide movement timing. Do this process until the slides on both CARBS begin to raise at the EXACT same moment. Lock down the loose adjuster and re-check the slides.

Turn the idle screw on each CARB EXACTLY ONE HALF turn outward and restart the engine. The engine will be probably be idling very fast. Adjust both the idle screws equally from this point to get to the desired idle speed. Congratulations, you have just balanced and synchronized your CARBS This should fix the problem. One last and VERY IMPORTANT thing, Have a fire extinguisher handy and ready for use any time you work on or with he CARBS.
