XT600R 4PT - Carb spares. Where ??
I've picked up a 2003 XT600E. Pure nostalgia won me over as it the bike I did one of my first big trips on.
I bought it as a runner with a leak from the carb link pipe. No big deal. He said it ran perfectly before that pipe started leaking.
The seller was lying.
I fixed the leak and the problem persists.
It won't idle. Popping and cutting out on idle. It revs up nicely though.
I've pulled the carb. Checked all jets were clean, float height, float valve etc.
HOWEVER !! The carb has just been rebuilt. With a £15 ebay Chinese kit. All the valves, jets, guides, needles etc.
So he's tried to fix it. Unsuccessfully.. And probably made it worse with these Chinese crap parts.
What a disaster. Now I need to try and undo his mad work. None of the jets have sizes and in my experience they make everything worse.
Yamaha genuine parts to replace all these items are insane prices. It will costs hundreds of pounds.
Where can I get a quality rebuild kit from ?? All searches just show Chinese rubbish.
Also, does anyone know if the carb off the earlier XT600E is compatible ??
