TT600RE help.

im rebuilding a bike for a very long trip, im searching the internet a lot for helpfull answers but still not sure with few questions, hope you will help

1. engine, i want to change the whole engine(some threads broken etc..) but dont know which engine will fit, my search had led me to 3tb(5'th gear problem fixed?). is the 3tb engine what im looking for?

2. my tt600re carburetor is broken(there is a crack inside..), and im not sure if xt600 carb will fit? what carb would fit instead of the original one? would you recommend mikuni flatslide(too expensive but.. maybe).

this is for now, thank you alot!

hi, thanks. what do you think on this one? this is 3uy sold only in USA, i dont know much about.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/382245747711?ul_noapp=true


if i buy this one,what do you think does it need any further 'openings' or 'reparations'? i mean, what if this engine has sat a long time and wasnt 'started', can there be any 'damage' because of that? its 1995 year and looks like new on the photos.
thanks..

Would be nice if they can provide you with compression test, dont know this company and its hard to tell history of the engine. Shipping price will be insane to your country, search ebay germany or others here in europe.
