Another Carbquestion.

I don't know much about carbs, all but one of my cars were injected and it had a 650 Holly, so I'm clueless about a 4 carb 4 cylinder. But my bike misses a little coming off idle. And it completely misses and backfires and throws flames out the exaust. Now it's so bad that it does it at high rpm under full throttle, without hitting a bump. Someone told me the float was sticking and I ran some carb cleaner threw the gas. Didn't help. Do I need to rebuild all the carbs, can I just clean them? How long would it take to rebuild and is it hard? Any help would be great, thanks.

If you have everything you need you can rebuild a carb in 2 to 6 hours
depending on your experiance..
Most times with jobs like this (four of a kind)
the first one takes an hour the second one 30 minutes the rest 15 minutes..

You can try a basic clean.
Take the carbs out (the easy part)
then remove the bowls and hose all the holes and parts with carb cleaner. If that doesnt work a rebuild is in order. To do that you need the book.

A "sticking" float can be caused by:
Gummy gas in the float mechanism.
Dirt.
bad/ leaking float.
Bad float valve parts.

Cleaning will only fix the first two....
