water in carb

The last two times I have had to switch on reserve the bike has
packed up completely. After waiting a couple of days I drained
the carb which was fine till next time...Looking at the carb
design it's not the best for water. I'm going to take out the
jets [again] and this time either use compressed air or WD40 to
clear the internal drillings. Any one else had similar problems?

Talking to a mate with a Dneiper, apparently they came with a
pump attachment that one screws into the carb to pump air
through the jetways.
Took him years to realise what it was....

Never had any issue with water, although I did have continual
issues with deposits from the tank. I fitted a halfords inline
filter, which got blocked up periodically and needed replaced.
Gave the tank a good clean (or as good as I could) and fitted
some magnets to the base, next to the tap, and have had no more
problems.
if you say it stops when you go onto reserve, are you saying
that there's stuff coming through that clogs the carb. up, or
that there's no fuel from the reserve...?
I have only one tap on mine. One tap kept leaking, so I blanked
off the outlet with a brass plug.
When i got crap in the carb, it was always the main jet that
sucked it up, and clearing the float bowl sorted it.
If your slow running passageways are blocked, you might need to
look at ultrasonic cleaning, but I'd start with compressed air
into the slow runnign screw hole.

Thanks for that. I can get the float bowl and jets out without
fiddling with the airbox, but I hadn't thought to just remove
the airscrew.

Finally got round to fixing the problem. Bought a can of
compressed air. Took float bowl off and poked nozzle into jet
passage in float bowl body. Water sprayed out. Replaced and
started bike. All I actually needed was the straw from the
can..... I'll make sure it's in the tool box in future. Now I
need is a set of brake shoes.

Good result Cloggy; shoes come up periodically on ebay, but none
there today.

Yeh I've spent an hour or two looking at various suppliers but
they are about £55 plus postage.
NLM get them rebuilt with new linings for a fraction of that.
They probably deal with a firm in Sheffield that I've used
before.
Does the wheel come out when on the stand or does one have to
chock the stand up and how much?

You need to chock it up; I think I used some 2" timber, but
don't quote me on that.
I used a couple of bungees through the wheel and up over the
rear rack to take the weight of the wheel. Makes it easier
putting it back over the cush drive.

Turned out to be dust and a misaligned brake arm. Bike stopped
again though still water in tank, got in the idle jet this time.
All it needs is a 14mm spanner a screwdriver and a can of
compressed air. Turns out engine doesn't suck through the main
jet at low revs...

You could also use a little alcohol in the tank to absorb the
remaining water. (metho) Or use one of the ethanol blend fuels
for the next couple of tanks and it will slowly absorb the
water. More importantly why is water getting in? ??? could be a
poorly sealing cap
