Hi all
I found what I thought was a bargain on ebay , a NSR for 300$.
All the front and side fairing has been hit with paint stripper which sux cause the back fairing is nice so I think the front would have been aswell, such a shame to kill good stock paint.
Put a new battery in 3rd kick after sitting for six months it started up , bit smokey from the front/bottom cylinder at first but it may have settled if I could have had it run longer.
The reason I didn't was the left hand carb was leaking fuel from what looks like a worn rubber for the float bowl. It was then I noticed the PGM 2 smokin it's butt off. I stopped the bike threw that one away and I have a replacement ready to go on .... Before I do , should I just throw the new one on or is there something I should check that may have cause the PGM2 to just burn out like that , rather than it just being age ?
Also I have taken off the float bowls to find the main jet on these ta-22b carbs is #105 when I read here it should be #128, which I will change when I get the new main jets.
The bike appears to have been derestricted at one point (wire splice air box drilled) but then put back to stock (wire repaired and airbox wrapped in tape) .Could this be why the jets are #105 ? just wondering why someone would put in smaller jets ? (the other jets are stock sized)
Apart from those 2 questions the only other thing I am looking for for now is the float bowl gaskets , does anyone know where I can get just those 2 gaskets?, because so far all I have found is single kits for 45$ each , and I dont feel like spending 90$ on 2 float bowl gaskets.
Thanks for reading and any help and guidance would be greatly apreciated !!
Also if you live nearby or sydney maybe as I am down there alot It'd be great to get some hands on help
