Thanks for your advice people,I’ve ordered some putoline light,is it ok to get 2 changes out of 1 litre?

Could you tell me the oil spec please?

Hi,what spec is the gp10? Is it sae 75w?

I’ve tried atf I found it horrible,is 300v a brand name?

What are people’s thoughts on best oil? For the best gear change and clutch operation? TIA

Can anybody tell me where the slits are on the breathers pipes on the carb

Altered the float height a little and it hasn't done it again yet but need a longer play on it to be sure,it was doing it when the motor wasn't running that's the bit I couldn't understand.

Sorry to hijack but I have the same problem it's a new type wheel without the rim tape and keeps going flat the valves fine so I'm guessing its the rim,can you see any problems with using slime?

Does anyone also with an evo know which pipes should have a slit in them? And whereabouts? Thanks

Yes I've got a bit fed up of it so I'm gunna let the local dealer have a look at it!!!

I've put the floats in a bowl of water and they seem fine,I will do the pipe trick and try that,it seemed to be worse this time when I put it back together,which needle and seat are you referring to? The float needle seat is in a recess and I can't see how it would be replaced?

Think I'm gunna gave to bite the bullet and get a new carb,I've done everything suggested and its just pouring out of the pipes,does anybody have a rough price of a carb?

Does the mixture screw work on the fuel or air side?

That's spot on mate exactly what I needed,had been searching the net for a decent exploded diagram,thanks very muchly

That sounds like it sticks out but can't see any holes in it

I had a small brass pipe drop out the carb when reassembling today I think it sits in the bottom of where the main jet went and protrudes into the main inlet area of the carb,can anybody confirm this??

That's great guys Gunna have a go tonight thanks a lot for your help

That's great thank you how do you know of its running rich at the bottom?

Ok thanks guys I will try that I'm guessing the toothpaste acts as a grinding paste to reseat the needle but where does the q tip come into it?

Yea that's tomorrows job mate,just after measuring the float height I can't see a problem with it

Hi after cleaning out my carb several times I'm still getting the dreaded dribbling problems,I've checked the float height and from what I can tell it seems ok but a bit tricky to measure,also I may have inadvertently moved the air mixture screw how crucial is this and will it cause engine wear damage? Can you send the carb to lampkins for any kind of modifications?

Sorry if this has been covered before but whats the method in repacking rear silencer and what material is best?

hi all i have a 2011 evo 250 with keihin carb thats chucking fuel out of the overflow pipes,ive stripped it and its clean but still doing it do they need a similar mod to the rev 3s with the mikunis? ive googled it but havnt found much on them

for some reason when i put the bike on to reserve the float level in the carb sticks causing it to chuck petro out of the overflow and wont rev properly,i dont know if its just coincidence that it does it when on reserve or what,because when i turn the tap back to straight up position it carries on doing it,anybody had similar problems?

ok guys update,im getting better but still not consistent,i think im missing the technique a little as im being so physical and knacking myself out, but im DETERMINED to get it right,anybody free for coaching lessons lol
