Hi guys my name is Ray I'm from Australia and I recently took ownership of an 04 FE650 with just 51 hours and 2600kms on it.
It did however have a flat spot down low in the revs. After inspecting the carb I found that the accelerator pump nozzle was blocked, after many hours of trying I could not unblock it.
To fix it I purchased the Athena Dual Spray Venturi Kit, as apparently you cannot buy the original single spray nozzle new.
The kit came with 2 mid body o-rings and neither are the correct fit, one is close but where the corner of the o-ring is at one end there should be a small 45 degree section, but it has a 90 degree corner instead.
I stretched the oringinal o-ring when removing it, so it no longer fits into the groove.
I am thinking about buying a FCR Mid Body Rebuild Kit off ebay which comes with new internal hex bolts and 2 different o-rings.
Has anyone used one of these kits before and did one of the o-rings fit?
Alse does anyone know where I can purchase the correct o-ring if the ebay kit does not work?
Thanks, Ray
