Cown3d Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Just picked up a '94 today. My first motorcycle in 12 years and I figured I might need some help from here getting it all set to ride. This is definitely a project bike. Hasn't been registered in 14 years and hasn't run in 2 years. Was someone's track project Dropped the oil as soon as I got it back to the garage and over a gallon of fuel and oil mixture came out. The carbs somehow dropped a ton of gas into the engine? Tried to pull the carbs off as planned on probably having to get them rebuilt, they are pretty stuck on there. That's as far as I made it. Anyone have suggestions on carb rebuild kits?

coupedupsubie Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 LiteTek makes all new gaskets for the 94-97, just order every one on their website. There are metal replacements on eBay for the plastic two plastic tees between the carbs. The carbs will come out hard. A carefully place prybar will help pop them out. As for getting them back on a heat gun to soften them will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted September 20, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted September 20, 2020 Welcome to VFRD!! Prior to dumping money in her, I'd investigate first if and how indeed (lots?) of fuel found its way in the oil.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comment was not directed towards you 2. There is a well built battery compartment under the seat 3. None of that stuff matters on a $600 bike, don't be a snob, bikes are for riding.

CharlieFoxtrot Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I would replace the rubber boots that connect the carbs to the engine. Still available from Honda as of last year when I bought some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
