Re: Carb Rubber leak symptoms
New rubbers were delivered today.
Thanks for the sanity check. I'll get to this on Sunday. Will pop back in if I run into problems. Just want this bike back on the road so she can give me my zzr back. Currently commuting on a transalp. No fun |

Re: Carb Rubber leak symptoms
Right so this weekend I stripped her back and had a look.
First thing - the o rings that sit betwwn the carbs and the engine popped out and were at least 5mm longer looking than they need to be - i tried freezing them to see if the shrunk back to fit but nope. So do o rings really expand that much? I've never seen that much expansion before. Secondly - the shop I took her too must have not put coolant in after getting to the front spakplug. Old girl was dry. And finally - I vacuum tested a lot of the tubes and the one that connects to the rear carb before it meets the engine had a poor seal. I've ordered new o rings and hose and clips and will silicon gasket every damn thing that connects to another. I can't believe the quality of the work the garage did. |

Re: Carb Rubber leak symptoms
Lets hope theres no damage with the coolant issue. I'd be going back and kicking up a stink and a half.
