Carburetor Rebuild & Manifold Gaskets

July 25, 2022 5:51 pm

3 days, not in a row.

Day 1

  • HSR 42 Rebuild Kit
  • Numbers go on the bottom!
  • Shitty backing plate
  • Shitty backing plate and Mikuni adapter
  • A little worn
  • Fresh Jets and Needles

Day 2

  • Dremel to the rescue
  • Shit, that plunger’s stuck!
  • ATF & Acetone, Heat, Hammer… Nothing

Day 3

After 2 trips to ACE and 1 to AutoZone, I forgot to get pics of the rebuilt carb back on the bike.

  • That’s more like it.
