jixaw Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I have done it this time...grrrrr...I was attempting to jet my 88 yamaha fz600....one of the steps was to drill the slide hole a little bit large with a provided drill bit.....well...I didnt see that there was more than one bit in the package....you guessed it....I used the bigger size.... How will this affect my carbs?...I am assuming that I will need to replace the vacuum slide (slide diaphram)..with a stock one...and drill the slide hole with the proper bit.... Thing is...I cant seem to find any of this parts or carbs on ebay....are there any other bikes out there that use this carb?...do you think I should be able to snag the vacuum slide off of it? Thanks guys
liquidcooled Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 hi jixsaw! what were you jetting for? aftermarket pipe/filter? it's strange they gave you drill bits to do it yourself. drilling carbs is a tricky business! for mikuni carb parts i'd try allens, i have bought countless jets from them for my rd before and always found them very good and helpfull. i'll try and find a link or phone no for ya....

jixaw Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 Thanks man!! Actually I am just getting a spare set of carbs from ebay..cant hurt to have an extra set on hand.... thanks for helping a brother out though... cheers
liquidcooled Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 no probs mate. getting a spare set is a good idea, i did the same with my pre divvie xj600(same engine as fz600 apparently!) and it saved me quite a bit when i was replacing/rebuilding my existing carbs. are you in the uk btw?
jixaw Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 Yeah...I am sure I'll need something else carb related before the bike is retired.... I am actually in the USA...near boston...havent seen any of these in the local breakers....ebay seems to be my only source....
