Getting ready to pull the carbs off of this (3 cyl, 3 Keihin carbs)
Thought this would be relativelly straight forward, having dealt with a variety of
dirt bikes, snowmobiles, autos etc over the years.

Took on look at this and was a bit intimidated, since they are all (of course)
linked together(throttle and choke linkages)


Looking for any tips on what not to do, what to watch out for?

I don't have a service manual for this and don't have a dealer in my area I trust(having had some bad experience with the local dealer and my little 10hp outboard.)

Any tips on unlinking these for removal(one at a time for take apart/clean) would be appreciated.

ALso, is there any problem with pulling the oil injection line from each of these?
I'm afraid of getting an air bubble and oil starvation. Don't think it should be an issue since it's at the end of the oil line, but wanted to check.
I don't see any way to bleed it from that point on, so I am assuming that it will prime
automatically when the engine is refired?

Thx in advance
