Well darn
Well darn! I was gong by memory and, of course, Kurte et al are right. As to
the direction of the carb bowl drain screws, my '85 650 is 2+2 and all three of
my '84 and '86 700 sets are 3+1.

>From the drawing it looks like it should be 2+2. But they are also indexed,
so you shouldn't be able to put them on backwards, which you would need to
in order to be able to change which side of the bike it points to.
Maybe we need to do a list-wide check, to see which one occurs more often?

It makes sense that they would be two and two. I just have noticed that the
bowls have often not been put back on the right carb and so you get what you get

Partial to your partial. Yes, ethanol is hygroscopic, but only to a point.
Once it has reached its stable azeotrope it doesn't pull any more moisture
out of the surrounding environment. What moisture it does attract it holds
tightly to it, which is why it's a component of gas antifreeze/dewatering
This is not the way either rack of 650 carbs I have go. I have 2 and 2 on
each.

Which tells you that someone has had the carbs off before. But come to think of
it, I had a CB650SC with three drain screws all facing the same way and just
the outside 4th one facing out. It was no problem getting them all with a long
screw driver

Well, I went to visit her in storage and from what I saw in the limited
light is that only the second carb is accessible from the right side. The
other three drain screws face to the left side of the bike. This makes
draining carb 4 difficult to get to.

I would stay away from the airport 100. It is called 100LL (low lead). I ran a
little years ago, and maybe just in my mind, it sure sounded like the engine
didn't like it. Either way, you don't need the lead in the 100LL.

Lucky you. I just did a search and found 90 octane non-ethanol gas not too
far from here. That's about the best I find locally, though. That an some
Stabil might work fine to get me through the winter.

If you drain the carbs they often leak in the spring. That is why I just doctor

With a single carb bike and a drain tube in place, about as long as the twist
of a screw. Amazimg how much fuel can be left in a carb bowl. Even treated gas
with Startron and Stabil will varnish over a period of time. And we do not
need to get started on the effects of ethanol on plastic and ru
