Norton Commando 850 MKIII Service and Recommissioning. Part 16: Servicing the Carburettors. Part 1

I miss my Combat Commando…

Remove the rear valve adjustment cover to get more clearance when removing manifold allen bolts.

[@Chris.rooke150]

Yes, thanks, I tried that, but it still caught on the stud. When I put the carbs back on, I'll cut the shaft of one allen key down so it misses the stud. (I want to keep one long allen key so I can tighten/loosen the allen screws as necessary - longer shaft)

It's much easier to remove the first carb if you remove the inlet rocker cover, and of course the second carb is quite a bit easier to get at than the first !.. It always surprises me that Norton didn't splay the carbs slightly on the Commando like Triumph did..

[@Chris.rooke150]

My thoughts precisely. 👍

[@bananabrooks3836]

Now where's that cut down Allen key?.....

[@Chris.rooke150]

Next to the angle grinder. 😉

It appears to be all talk, and no action

[@Chris.rooke150]

Maybe it's because the servicing is in 4 separate parts, giving as much detail and info as possible rather than just skimming over things. See videos parts 17, 18 and 19 for the full (detailed!) story - with action!
