Carb help
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:57 pm
Evening all,
After a bit of help guys, have bought a ZXR400 H-model 1989 (H1?) I've had a few issues with the bike, the coils weren't firing properly but after doing the stick mod from a guide on here and re-shimming it, she finally started. It is running a bit rough though, I do have two sets of carbs with it, one with heating circuit fitted and one without and from what I can see a few bits missing. The heating circuit carbs are fitted.
Few questions I have;
1. How do I know what model carbs I have, from what I read here the L-models had heating circuit but the H-models didn't which leads me to believe they aren't the standard carbs?
2. I can see on Fliece baythere are carb rebuild kits, seals and what not but does anyone have a recommendation on who to buy from? Don't want to buy a kit and then find it as poor quality 6 months down the line. (obviously dependant on what carbs I have)
3. Can anyone recommend somewhere to get the carbs professionally cleaned? It was laid up a good while and they were filthy, cleaned of most of the gunk but would like them properly cleaned before the rebuild.
Can see a few guides on setting the carbs up, one really well laid out one by Ross I think it was? But for an L model, assuming the settings wouldn't be far off if they are actually H-model carbs. Just want to get it running tidy first then planning on fitting a stainless manifold I got from coley and a micron can from the last ZXR I had and take it from there.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for the great guides and info you guys have here.
