kangaroosa Posted November 28, 2005 Report Posted November 28, 2005 Without actually seeing the pic, i can tell you that there are rebuild kits for most weber carbies. They cost about $50-$70 from most auto parts shops. I used to buy mine from a local carby reconditioner. Silicone generally doesnt work well with petrol. The petrol will soften the silicone and will pretty rapidly perish it. Quote

The petrol will soften the silicone and will pretty rapidly perish it. by the way, I'm roy. I'm from davao city, philippines. its quite unfortunate for me cause we don't have any carb reconditioners here. I'm one of the few toyota lovers racing in this honda land. not that i have anything against honda (cause i used to own one). i own two rollas now. a KE25 strictly for the quarter and an AE111 for our daily ride. sad to say, when i need something for the KE25, i have to order parts from somewhere else. regarding the carb prob. i'll ask my mechanic to use gasket paper. big thanks. p.s. i can't find any universal carb synchrometer in our area! i think i just have to ask my friend to order one for me from jcwhitney.

irokin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Loctite sell a few sealants that are solvent (fuel) resistant. You can even choose if you want it to set or stay as a gel/goop. Quote

Siddy Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 I don't know of a kit that doesnt include all new seals and gaskets... These Kits have pics, so u will be able to see exactly what u get, if u know the proper name of the carby: http://www.poida.completelyfreehosting.com.../Main_Page.html Those prices are discounted, become a member of www.ozgemini.com to enjoy the savings :D Quote
