    Urgent help:A carburettor for a 1992 Transalp!

    For Thomas's bike called Foster, he and Katharina are touring NZ, his carb on the font pot is stuffed and he need to find one, preferably second hand but in reasonable condition.

    Bike details are

    Transalp:
    Typ: PD06 XL600VnG
    RahmenNr: PD06-5503602
    Motor-Nr:PD06E-2503771
    EZ: 5.1992

    If anyone can help please let me know ASAP, to got to their site go to www.globusbiker.de, these are the guys that stayed with us for nearly a week and are truly wonderful people, they have been on the road for 2.5 years with another 1.5 to go.

    Thomas is in Christchurch with his bike.

    Cheers gents

    I even checked in case someone had put one in there without me knowing but no suitable carbs in the shed.

    Cheers for that Nordie.

    I know it is a bit of a longshot but if we can help them through the bush telephone then that would be cool.

    Anyone with a possible or maybe?

    There are a couple of Honda wreckers around or atleast wreckers with Honda parts. How about checking some of the trademe listings for honda stuff and ask the Q to the listers. Worked for me for a rectifier. Also the listings / ads in the the kiwi motorcycle magazines often list bikes for wrecking. Just might not necessarily be cheap going to a wreckers is all...
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    What is stuffed with his current carb? I have a few assorted carbs in my shed in Hamilton, but likely nothing suitable. I would guess some kind of 32 - 34mm CV in a transalp?

    Unfortunately I am in Christchurch at present, so I cant rummage through the bits, but possibly fixing his old one may be an easier option. I am also working on my bike this weekend, and could have a look at his one if I could track him down.

    I enjoyed his company at Mavora, particularly the discussion we had on the ride up the side of the lake.

    If I could find out the carb model would be a help but I don't have that info, will see what else I can find out.

    Thanks gents.

    Have a look at ebay. If you find something in the UK or Europe I could buy it and send it over and someone could fix me up into my NZ account.

    Thanks for the offer, I Think Thomas is already looking on ebay Germany as he is German with an account as well, one way or another he will get sorte out.

    Appreciate the pms, numbers and names thus far gents, this is one thing that makes KB really worth while for the help you get.
