Hi guys, I did search earlier, but I am in a rush so I couldnt find my old posts relating to this problem
This morning at 4am my carb started leaking petrol for no reason. I assume the float bowl was stuck open again or the orings and stuff are just past their wear date. Its the same carb that always leaks, right most one.
I rode the bike and the leak seemed to stop, but i am worried it starts again later, normally to fix i just take the carbs and tap on them and that sorts them out.
Naturally I have gotten tired of this.
What I cant remember is which kit of Randy's I am supposed to use to fix the problem.
Is it the carb rebuild kit
http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Carb%3Arebuildkit1 (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Carb%3Arebuildkit1)
If so would I get away with just fixing the one carb or would I have to fork out to fix em all?
Or do I just need this kit

My mind says yes to the first option but my wallet says yes to the second option :wacko1:
Thanks for the help guys
Jesse, your leak is probably from the orings. The $22 kit has all the orings you'll need. Take my advice, if you do one, do all.

Is it the carb rebuild kit FJ1100 Rebuild Kit (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Carb%3Arebuildkit1)

Or do I just need this kit S/S Screw & O-ring Kit (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=carbkit)
My mind says yes to the first option but my wallet says yes to the second option :wacko1:

Jesse,
The first option is for rebuilt the carbs, the second is for resealing them.
The minimum would be the screw & o-ring kit, but if you are going to rebuild then really are going to need both options.

Thanks I will see what I can do.. it would be best to do everything at once..well there goes my life savings :morning1: :dash1:
don't you just love carby work , , any luck mate?? , not sure if you ever sent that clutch lever back, but did you still want the proper one , think it was the thicker one where it pivots you needed .?
Yeah it was the thicker one
I sent it back, it came back to me, so I resent it a month and a half ago. I truly despise our postal service. I have a tracking number, I will dig it up and check what it bears
This will be my first time doing major carb work, so I am keen to learn a lot. First have to get dough in order :crazy:
