Trying to Get Carb Out!!
« on: October 30, 2021, 05:34:40 PM »
Am thinking of removing my carb to clean, but I've come upon another problem or ten. There appears to be a throttle sensor on the side opposite the throttle cables, and no videos of carb cleaning I've seen deal with this. Even my kymco manual doesn't mention it in the carb removal instructions. It has a cable connected to a plug, like the auto bystarter. Should I just leave it attached? It's extremely difficult to unplug either that or the bystarter because I can't reach the connectors, which are buried underneath other cables which are clamped into a holder or guide. Who designs this garbage.

@Togger, it's not that difficult to undangle those cables, if no-one had messed with them before.

This wirelooms are to be kept away from high temperatures as rotating/ moving parts as well.
So the most reasonable place is to line them up along the frame, where coils/regolators are located at.
-put this metal prongs (holders) gently aside and free the whole wireloom from old cableties and other debris.
-follow your to be unhooked wires, press this little ramps and you should be able to disconnect your carb
-take pics of all your steps for later

Togger, I unplugged my tps from my carb at the carb last time I pulled mine. The electrical connection there was easy to separate.

@hawk yes,
 usually goes like you say, but sometimes those connectors underneath are sooo corroded, that option wireloom is easier as a first step, then after soaking in petroleum or whatever solves this, unplug it at desk.
