Title: Carburator rebuidling! HELP!!!!!!
Post by PipJones on 10/30/08 at 16:15:00

About a week ago i realized that i had been riding without an airfilter for my savage. It went at least 300 miles without one (I don't know how long the owner before me w as riding without it).

Anyhow, i decided i should do some cleanup work since it tends to get a little dusty down here in Texas.

Took my carb apart, bathed all the parts in carb cleaner. After i pulled all my stuff out after a day of soaking i realized that the carb has 2 rubber seals on either side of the throttle plate (on the outside).

I DIDN'T SEE THEM!!!

They were both swollen to massive proportions. Went to the dealership to see if i could get some..... and sure enough..... I have to buy a whole new carburetor to get them!

500 bucks?? i sure hope not.

I need help, does anyone have a trashed carb that i could use for parts, anyone know if an o-ring would work? I need help. I fear i have destroyed my motorcycle.

how about one of lancer's mikuni setups? you might want to check your compression, sometimes all that dust can have a negative effect on cylinder walls.

What rubber seals exactly are you talking about? I got two carb bodies that I can cannibalize for you if you can give me exactly what you are looking for.

Lancer, our resident carb guru sells a fullcarb kit as well as a jet kit in the Savage store, there is a link to it on the top just under the Savage site logo.

I personally don't know as I have not yet bought one, but I do intend to as soon as I can get the extra money.
