I still have no words from EnzoYug.

ok, so while we don't have a carb we don know that a GN250 will bolt on but is slightly too big for the fxr boot/airbox and runs a bit rich. not too hard to fix, just gotta get a carb or a new diaphragm/slide for the current carby

2001 FXR150 carby approx dimensions: Inlet OD 45mm Outlet OD 37mm

nothing a bit of fiddling/rejetting won't fix

but getting the fxr part is easier to fit

It ends in 30 minutes.. What do you think?

**motorbyclist** · 13th April 2008, 16:12

see if he makes an offer when it ends, either that or ask for a relist when we decide

**xwhatsit** · 13th April 2008, 16:27

Fuggit if you want one of those, just get one of my RS carbs and disconnect the accelerator pump. Not hard. Plus, you won't look like a tit with that silly colour scheme. It's the same thing -- 33mm inside, 40mm outside -- and it won't cost you much.

Dead easy to disconnect the pump, if you're worried about it. Or, seeing as the pump is adjustable for how much you want to squirt out, so just make it squirt out next to nothing.

Too late... it's closed

Dunno, how much was that XL250S carb?

**BAD DAD** · 13th April 2008, 16:50

So just to summarize, where are you at with this bike now? Everything fixed except the carb? What was the big deal with 20th of April? Not just being nosey, actually quite interesting to watch progress.

**EJK** · 13th April 2008, 16:53

I was going to do a Tour around the South Island, starting on 18th April. Obviously it's now cancelled...

Well yeah, only the carb is the problem now, no the leaking tank too. Just need to find a carb (Preferably FXR carb) then get it going. I'll sell it when the work is done.

Aerodyte(???) could fix the tank. "Eazie Job!!!!" says GIJOE1313 lol

Well you can have it for a couple of green ones then. I'll bring both carbs that aren't attached to bikes and you guys have a look and pick the best one. I've got 122 and 125 main jets, slow jet is fixed (but will be fine, just adjust with pilot mixture screw and needle height) and two different needle types which are adjustable over a large range.
