Carby reconditioning

Are you saying do it myself?
Yeah, I'm learing that mate. Been screwed a few times with this build.
Never touched a carb in life until 2011 when i rebuild my Kat.
Used this and it was piss easy - totally surprised myself - really good step by step guide.
NOTE - DO NOT USE CHEAP REPLACEMENT PARTS - USE MIKUNI OZ AND GENUINE MIKUNI PARTS/NEEDLES ETC. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
REPLACE ALL O-RINGS AND GASKEST (ASK ME HOW I KNOW)
Good luck
Cheers
Rusty

Hey Rusty. Awesome link, and some good advice. I will definitely give it a go. OK, how do you know to replace all o rings and gaskets. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Bill.
Cos after rebuilding the entire bike from frame up, was time to hit the key for the Kats first time in over 10 yrs..... Turned fuel tap on, carbies leaked everywhere. Replaced all the needles and gave a good service (as per that guide), but didn't replace the 5c o-rings in the fuel lines between each carb body.... was very disappointing as we couldn't start the bike up and had to wait another week to have time to redo....
Damn, that would have been so disappointing mate. Glad you got it sorted the next week and got that big Kat up and running ( smile now).
