I pulled apart the carb earlier and found almost immediately that the slide itself would get good and stuck in the bore at wide open throttle position. Somehow I managed to get the slide out, but not without worrying if I was ever gonna get it back together again.
Let's check out the carb. It's a Keihin "PD11A", and I can't find a lick of info about it online 🫤
This is the slide bore:
Note the "polished" areas inside and around the top edge - these are high spots that prevented the slide from being able to move up and down freely.
Here is the slide itself:
I was able to sand down the high spots inside the bore with 220 and 400 grit sandpaper (wet sand + dry sand on both grits) and give the slide itself a nice finish. It now moves freely in and out of the bore without sticking at all. Now I just need to find a rebuild kit... Wish me luck.
