Main Jet Holder

(1/2) > >>

adespin:
Stripped the carb's down today to see why the K1 was running rough from idle to partial throttle. All the float levels were way out, but the main problem was number three carb main jet holder is bent, it felt odd unscrewing it (slack, tight and so on) and the needle end was taper ground to make it fit. This bike is a recent American import.
  My problem is getting hold of one as David Silver doesn't seem to stock them, any ideas anyone?

adespin:
Anybody ??

JamesH:
Problem is adespin, as this part is NLA the only way to supply one is to render a complete set of carbs useless by remving one of the four. Unless you can pick up a single carb body on eBay somewhere?

Thanks for the reply James, i'll try to bend it back into shape, beats me how it got bent in the first place.

The only way i imagine it could have happened is by someone putting the needle seat holder in backwards (ie so it couldn’t seat properly in the carb) and then trying to install the jet holder / nip it up. Maybe use the jaws of a lathe or hand drill to try and straighten it. I’d apply some heat first. Good luck!
