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.
