Thanks. This is very helpful. I will follow videos .It sounds like you're new to the carbs...which is fine, we all start somewhere. Try not to over think it and take your time. They will become much more familiar to you as you get more experience with them.
My advice is to take your time, take them out as a set...but work on each carb separately so you know which screw/jet/part goes to which carb. Also note the current settings you have on everything before you clean and adjust them so you have a reference point--which may or may not be in spec. For example, how many turns does it take to bottom out the air/fuel mix screw, etc.
Take pics if you're not familiar with how things go back together, and also it may be helpful to get familiar with what's inside before you open things up. Here's a video series on disassembling BS38 carbs:
Good luck
Thanks for you YouTube video reference. I am having problem taking my bs34 carbs out. I have taken cable links off and have loosened intake manifold clamp and air box clamp is that all i have to do to remove them? I have tried and am stuck here. I do not want to force anything. What is procedure to remove? I have 1982 heritage special.It sounds like you're new to the carbs...which is fine, we all start somewhere. Try not to over think it and take your time.

Remove both air boxes from bike. Use silicone spray or other lube at carb rubber boot junction then wiggle, work, carbs loose. Once carbs are loose remove the rubber intakes, 2 allen bolts each, a set of long arm ball end allen wrenches is super useful here. carbs will now come out. Good to drain the float bowls before removing the carbs.
I will have to send you picture because i think i can not remove air boxes and plus i can not get at allen bolts on inside of intake manifold. Do i have to take these bolts out? I have 1982 heritage special with mikuni bs34 carbs. I will send pictures when at my bike on Wednesday.Remove both air boxes from bike.

Ok. That will make it easier to remove carbs. I will try it when I get back to my bike on Wednesday. Do I still have to remove two Allen bolts on front intake manifold?The stock air boxes remove easily, they are all the same 80 to 84, three screws, one at the back, one at top (head is under seat, near gas tank). and I think one near the front bottom, then just pull box out to the side.
Yes, that's why my hint about buying long arm ball end allen wrenches, a set is about $7 and worth 10 times that.......Do I still have to remove two Allen bolts on front intake manifold?

Ok. This helps me a lot. Now to locate ball end Allen wrenches here in toronto Canada. I will goggle search. I will let you know if and when I get them.
Thanks Leo
