Carb removal
How in the heck do I remove the carb bank? I loosened the screws underneath the carbs that hold the boot on. Also took the bracket off the back side. I've used a hair dryer to warm the boots but still can't get them off. Please give me some pointers.

Never mind. I got it. Needed a little wd40 and some more persistence. Those buggers are on there good!
Re: Carb removal
If the boot clamps are loose the carbs are probably just stuck to the rubber (haven't been removed in a long time)...
Rocking them (side to side and back and forth) will loosen them up and they'll pop out.

Re: Carb removal
I suspect that you will have to do the hair dryer trick again when you decide to put them back on. I've had to do it multiple times.

Yea I figure putting them on ill have to use the hair dryer or just roll it out in the Arizona sun for a bit. The bike had been in storage for about 8 years and my buddy I got it from said it only got about 14 mpg due to the jet kit. It started right up but figure ill pull the carbs and clean them.
