Since there's loads of highly respected members loitering to argue about various events im not going into I thought I'd make the most of it and grab some advice and opinions.

This arrived today

What should I do with it? Anything to be careful with it be aware of?

Don't tell the wife!
Give the outside a clean then strip and check what jets and needle it has.
Compare with the recommended jets etc in the Wiki and buy any you Ned from your supplier of choice.

Or just whack it on and see what happens

Good luck.

Carl.
 
Oh and check the plate on the slide for wear or damage and make sure the wheels/rollers move freely.
 
That's the hot start, red version of the choke. It hasn't rattled off in the packing?
 
Yeah it is, it was removed from a running bike so they must have known

Easy to find if you Google keihin hotstart plunger, pain in the arse though!
 
When tearing down the carb note that any phillips screws are not regular phillips they are JIS, Japanese Industrial Standard. You will cam out if you use a regular phillips and ruin the screw. Amazon has JIS screwdriver sets.

A pair of Vampliers will help remove any damaged screws.
 
In general: Don't take it ALL the way apart :) (I.e. don't split the main body.)

(If you find that you actually need to do so however, there do exist gaskets for full rebuilds of these and it is possible to fit them together again.)
 
yes we have them but it sounds like you're sorted. it must have had a handlebar mounted choke?
