Topic: ok more carb questions

[original]

i did not order the kit to rebuild yet, hope i can reuse everything, can all the parts even the gasket and o-ring be reused.  i did notice that the bike came with some crudy k&n pods.  is there a certian size jet needed with the pods and are the k&n's reusable if so how do i clean all the soot out of them.  thanks again.  oh the carbs are off a 71 cb750

can all the parts even the gasket and o-ring be reused.

Depends on how old they are and how long the carbs have been sitting unused.

is there a certian size jet needed with the pods and are the k&n's reusable if so how do i clean all the soot out of them. 

There is no shortage of previous threads regarding pod filters and the subsequent re-jetting.  There is also no shortage of differing opinions on their benefits/faults and how to adjust the carbs for their use.

do a search to answer the pod/jetting issue.  You probably will come out more unsure than when you started.

Cleaning the pods may depend on how old and crudded up they are.  When they're new, they are meant to be cleaned with a spray and rinsed.  Then they get reoiled with filter oil.  I use a K&N type filter in my stock airbox, and clean and reoil it with each oil change.  You local bike shop probably has the stuff.
