Hi, all, doing the carb thing and discovered the snorkle on my airbox wasn't properly installed, causing some deformation and one small tear in the lip that goes inside the airbox.
is this a major deal? am I screwed?
I also discovered that Mikunis are a bit more complex than the Keihiens (did I spell that right?) my Kawi had, big props to John Bloemer for a comprehensive write up with lots of pics, and to Bikecliff for his webpage with all the great GS knowledge in one place, and also to Robert Barr for a great, low cost 'rebuild kit' and his companies great customer service.
Nessism,saw those fuel inlet filter screens you told me about, that's cool as he!!.
I was going to replace all those strip prone phillips head screws with Allen head, a la Renobruce, but my local hard ware store doesn't have then in the needed quantity, so I went with hex heads instead (can't use them on float bowls, though, I'll have to use the stock screws till I can get enough Allen heads)
Yes, I did replace the intake boots, too.
Carb 1 done, 2 soaking, 3 and 4 waiting their turns
