wild foamy Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 hi everyone. think ive found out why my Jawa is a bitch to start and wont run right, seems the little rubber bit that goes over the manifold end of the carb and into the reed block has perished slightly and is a bit of a loose fit, to the point where the carb can be moved/tilted/twisted by hand. but finding a replacement is proving to be a bit challenging. anyone know how i can fabricate/find a new carb rubber? (its a 28mm single carb), tried all the "Jawa specialists" but to no avail, nothing on the owners club webby either...

I found this on their web site "We offer a spares service for club members only to try and keep their Jawa / CZ motorcycles on the road. We have massive stocks including many odd small items, and some used parts are available occasionally too. We cannot supply a full list of spare parts that the club holds or a price list, but we can quote you for any item that you need." So did you join...and have you enquired there? http://www.jawaczownersclub.co.uk/spare_parts.htm

Moderator YamaHead Posted February 23, 2009 Moderator Posted February 23, 2009 I once made a carb rubber for my old piston-port Bultaco......out of a bit Radiator hose ......it actually worked quite well......& I couldn't beat the price!
