I'll try to describe what appears to have happened.


I don't have the replacement in front of me and the filter that's in there had an internal skelton and is grey hard plastic, not rubber. It came out of the cap where it was held by a compression fit with a rubber collar. The end that fits the ...

Setve,
Thanks again. This is indeed the parts that are stuck together although I really don't know how hard they are bound as I really haven't been able to get a purchase to pull out on it. I've had situations where something seemingly bound either because of being too slippery to grab onto that ...

No, it was I who wasn't being clear. My filter still has both ends intact and no loose screen. It's just that the plug end of the gray plastic "tube" has separated from the plug/cap and is flush with the plug end of the opening into the sump, leaving nothing to grab onto.

Sorry for not being clear ...

Thanks for the advice and especially the graphics. This may be just the ticket although I don't think it's stuck that hard but just a matter of having nothing to grab onto as the plug end of the screen is just flush with the bottom of the drain hole's shoulder. I think if it get to the point where ...

Merle, the end of the screen unit just slips into a rubber plug like thing. It is just stuck to that plug. Find a way to grip onto the tube and yank it on outta there. You are not going to have to split the cases unless it breaks off down inside etc. I am going to try to find some time to pull out ...

Trust me, it's not. That will probably be the least of your difficulties in your first time opening up the cases.


For one thing, I wouldn't be the one splitting them; only the one paying to have it done which I'd like to aviod at all costs(no pun intended but I'll take it).

I found my ...

Split the cases? How am I going to do that with the screen/filter holding them together

Steve, thanks for the reply. I tried to describe what I see a bit better below


hi Merle, are you saying that the original screen 'tube' stayed in the motor, and only the aluminum plug thing [the part you put a wrnech on to remove it all] stayed put? And, you can;t simply pull the screen tube out ...

I just got the bike on the road and was going to change the oil and replace the original filter with a replacement I got from Steve last year. After taking it out for a spin to warm up the oil, I removed the plug and to drain the oil and the filter wasn't attached.

It was the original filter/plug ...

It turns out that I found one of the mismatched things inside the carbs, One had the proper pt #s 49 and 50(from the diagram) a thingn brass washer and an O ring and the other had a fiber washer.
My brother had a guy he knew who proclaimed to be a Ducati expert rebuild the carbs a couple of years ...

I meant to post this as a reply in the other thread about my PHF 30s. Not used to this forum format as the Net 54 ones have stringing threads where a reply can have it's own title. Apparently if you fill in the title of a reply here it becones its own thread.

The carb bodies have been rinsed and dried. I'm going to go through the color book and make sure I've got all the passages cleared out as I didn't have a small nozzle for the compressed air yeaterday. I don't know what's in that stuff, but when hit by water, what rinses off is milky white. At least ...

Wow, it's $25/can on line and I just bought two cans for under $20 at Advance Auto!! It comes with a smal parts strainer but I didn't end up using it as the carbs were too big to fit with it and I wanted to keep each in it's own can complete ...
