Finally got a chance to look over this new to me MC18 PGM2, bike started but ran like crap so I took the carbs out, cleaned the tank, etc and now about to put it all back together.
First thing I need is the reed valve gasket, broke mine when I pulled them out, also while at it should I replace them? one thing I noticed was some bubbling from the reeds when I picked the bike over with carbs removed. They don't look broken and appear stock to my untrained eye. Question is where can I get a gasket (I'm in US) and reed valves (if I need them? Do I? How do I test them?)
Carbs were messed up, both emulsion tubes were loose, one simply fell out once I removed the bowl, I guess that's why it ran like crap! Again the question is where to get the parts, what parts should I get? I understand that Japan is not an option at the moment, they have their hands full without me pestering them (I have friends there)
Should I change Main jets? currently 128 and bike appears to be restricted, did not see any signs of wire splice. Will derestrict once I can get the rest sorted out, will be keeping stock pipes on it.
Rear shock still toast, still looking...
Appreciate and advice, don't be shy!
Thanks!
