Acceleration stutter after service

[dBfazer600]

Yesterday I put the bike back together and fired her up with petrol pissing out all over the place from the carbs. This was after putting in a new K&N air filter. The bike had been run for 10 mins with rad flush in the coolant system with no signs of a leak. I then drained and flushed with 15L of distilled water. There were fine black particular matter floating in the water that eventually ran clear. It took me and my bro an hour to strip carbs off as I had a good idea why petrol was pissing out of the float bowls. It was the new gaskets so I simply put the old ones back on that did the job.

But this is what happened when taking out the carbs

Did I say simple?

So eventually got the clip off put old gaskets back on but use (sparingly) rubber grease to hold them in place and refit. I did prior to this use carb cleaners for cleaning the carbs  :think and I used a guitar string to ensure the fine holes were clear. Then I soaked all metal removable parts in carb cleaner for 30 mins.

So the cabs are back on the bike and home for a beer.

Got a call this afternoon from numb nuts and he says bike still fucked as he took it out as crash test dummy. I pointed out the obvious that the clip was missing and cause a vacum problem. I went round took the bike out and bloody hell the difference is amazing even with out a clip fitted so off the a spars shop and clip fitted and I is a really happy  :faz owner.

The stutter is no more.
