rebuilding a carb..suggestions?
Hey guys...
Well we got back from the lake and my sl 650 std is running better but still not good. I looked at the break down of the carbs again and realized that there is a little filter in the carbs. Please keep in mind that I have NEVER rebuild a carb and that the last time I cleaned it out was my first time ever .
I finally got it to idle when it's warmed up, but to go from idle to take off (even warmed up), I have to pull the choke out or else it will just die. I have adjusted the high and low jets and it did not make a difference.
Should I rebuild the carbs or will just cleaning that little screen in the carb do it? How much does a rebuild kit cost, where can I get it (I would have to do it via mail since I have no CC)?
Any ideas, tips etc. would help great. Thanks.
I just wanted to add that it goes 45 mph. Everything is stock (to the best of my knowledge). Does that sound right or should it go faster?Last edited by 1hotpotato; 07-10-2007 at 02:37 AM. Reason: Add additional comment

The rebuild is easy! and you should inspect it and test popoff before you buy 3 kits also 45 is the best that ski will do!

Rebuilding is not that hard. It mostly just new rubber parts you put in and clean up. You just need basic hand tools, philips screw driver, a few flat heads, block of wood and a hammer. You use the hammer to with screwdriver to break the screws loose
. You will see when you try to remove some will not move and will start to strip a few light taps breaks them loose. Rememeber if you need new needle & seat that is extra from the rebuild kit. You get only the rubber parts in a rebuild, some come with that small filter most come with new springs. Most of the time it is that big diaphram behind the 4 screws that has holes or junk on it. Might want to put in a primer kit since you have them apart. It is whole lot faster to start with them.

Thank you everyone. Since we won't be going to the lake this weekend, I think I will at least tear into it this weekend and at least check out a few more things.
I will check at our local NAPA to see about a rebuild and a primer kit.
I did some reading about the pop off test. I can do that.
I will check the carb screen, then check the main and pilot jets.
