I'm a newbie, only been here since 2013 when I was 37. Shortly after I started wrenching on skis.

That turned out great. It's SOOooo easy to fix these right once you figure out a 'system'. I like to grind out that nasty rotted foam with a flap wheel and make straight edges pretty much like you did. Then I can easily cut those straight shapes out of new foam with huge chunky scissors. Glue...

You mean with some on that thar glowin' red metal glue? LOL!

You joke, but corrosion of any form DOES make a really strong bond!!

Basically, what everbody is saying here is.........stop running it and tear it completely down for inspection.

Nah, just set up Microsquirt.

By the late 90's, electronic ANYTHING was going downhill. @john zigler I know you're old enough like me to remember the huge car stereo days. Even the name brand stuff was going to crap. I was also (still am) into street rods and fast anything. In the early 2000's I went through about 3 MSD...

You gotta start somewhere. The key points with welding are simply clean metal, and practice!

I could be wrong here but it seemed to me like it was about 'dektop computer case' size.

Did I miss where you already did a compression check?

No man, they're "like a box of chocalates, you never know what u gonna get".

Yep, primer in the supply side means your top end is now toast. I can't believe how many people get this wrong. I stay away from primers all together. Even a fairly modded machine will start easily with a stock choke setup. IF NOT, then I'd suspect the cdi crapped.

Just took apart a Fakuni carb today. NO restriction orifice in the acc pump supply line. Not painted inside like yours either.

I like when I can get in and repair where it won't be seen. It allows for extra beefiness and less clean-up labor.

Dang...........well, you can't expect every 8 year old child in the country to be able to assemble carbs.

The 787 dual carbs I had in here this year had a WAY too thick o'ring on the seats. I had to run in a lag screw, grab it with vice grips, then hammer the vise grips to POP the seats out.

That midrange transition bog and not getting up on the high speed circuit is that "anti-siphon" flap valve on the jet cover. If that sucker is too thick they'll do EXACTLY that.

I've had several of those Fakuni carbe through my shop in the last couple years. This spring was the LAST TIME .......I won't mess with them anymore!! It was a set for a '97 XP. I went through them and checked everything. There are no sizes stamped on the jets but I checked them against my size...

Well, at least you were prepared.....BWAAAAAHAAAAhaaaaaa!!!!!!

China made aftermarket carb?
