Yamaha Carb

[Rockin Randy]

I am taking the carb off my '74 Yamaha DT 250. It needs to be re built. The slide is stuck, I have been soaking it in kerosene for two days. Still stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks

Extreme temperature changes often help crack things apart. Try putting it in the freezer overnight and then warming up the outside of the carb body with a propane torch. Sometimes the rapid expansion of the outside will separate the two. Just be carefull with the torch
