[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1347989, member: 104942"] The teardown continues... the kickstarter gear is all tuned up and working great, now I am tackling the carb. The bike seemed to run OK (considering the mess in the airbox and the leaking exhausts from broken mounts everywhere) when I started my tear down. But having not ridden this bike before, who knows how "OK" it really was. It pulled harder then my old KLR-250, but that's not saying much. Anyway, I have the slide out (or as Kawasaki and Keihin call it, the "Throttle Valve"). It shows some beginning wear in the extreme corners, where it looks like some sort of plating has come off. Its still really small at this point, perhaps some fraction of a millimeter wide and maybe 2 mm tall at it's worst. And it seems "recessed", not raised. The throttle showed no signs of hanging during the very brief time I played with the bike before tear down. I'll try and post pictures tonight, but I would rather not start ordering $70 parts if they aren't broken yet. And I don't mind doing another tear down next season if I can get a year or two out of the current one before it starts hanging. So how bad can these things wear before it becomes a problem? Does ignoring it cause the carb body to wear, and sign me up for a new carb instead of just a new slide? Its amazing the thing ran... the PO had a filter in there that was falling apart, and had a big hole in the middle. There was mud partially filling into the bottom vent tube... which also no doubt contributed to the slide wear. Next job is to pull the head and radiators so I can weld back the radiator mounting tabs onto the frame... Thank God for steel framed dirt bikes... [/QUOTE]
