my jawa 350 640 '95 was runing fine

with the sidecar until a couple of days ago.

if just started to bog down

and now it fouls op plugs in like 5 blocks?

i had to use like 4 paris of plugs just to get home!!

where should i start trouble shooting

gas flooding or electrical?

I think it is flooding.

hmm i just took the carb apart

and rechecked everything since i just

took it apart last week and we'll see how it goes.

there is a little pipe that goes in some passages

and comes out the other side which i suspect is blocked.

any tips on hoe to clear it? i tried poking but since its

all curvy and stuff i cant really clean it!!

I always take my carbs apart, remove anything rubber and plastic and put her in a chemical dip overnight. Makes them shiny as new and dissolves most gunk. Then I spray the leftover dip off with carb cleaner, blow some compressed air through the passages and put back together. Takes a bit of time but it's solved every carb problem I've ever had.

whatkindofchemicaldip?

im afraid if i leave them overnight in acid it'll eat them away!

ok ya, to be on safe side i'll take it off again and do it!

It won't hurt the metal but it will eat rubber. I've been told that plastic is ok, but I never tested it myself and don't plan to.

As for the dip, just get whatever they have at the autoparts store near you. It's all the same thing.

which is?

Just ask for carb cleaner it should be in a bucket that has a small tray in it to put the parts in while soaking. The cleaner is reusable.
