Hi All,
just joined and said hi in the lounge, but im looking for some advice on Carb Rebuild kits.
Appologies for my documentation skills, Bike runs nice but when i drop down a gear or open the throttle so that there is a high fuel demand it coughs and splutters, as such i thought i would have a look in the float bowls and they were grotty and showed signs of stangnent E10 fuel.
No problem I thought as i would take the carbs off and give them a quick clean up and they will be fine, but whist removing what i think it s the fuel air mix screw marked below as "1" a small washer fell out whilst spraying some carb cleaner around. I got my son to check them over as his eyes are much younger than mine and he spotted a small O ring seal that was under the washer, and spotted that it was split so we fished it out for a look, and it was.
The job then changed from a "quick clean" to a "we may as well completely restore them" job, so the question is what carb rebuild kit do you recoments either from the UK (preferably) or the US? I have read a lot that Randakks is the best, but i have also read that they sold out to another company, I have looked at Dave Silver spares, and NRP Carbs, but not sure which set to go for, any experience based recomendations?
The bank will get split and ultrasonically cleaned so i woudl rather do the job once and do it right so i can concentrate on just enjoying it.
Thanks
