The forum seems to replicate owners problems on my own bikes somehow This time the problem was a rounded out drain screw on a carb. I drilled out the damaged screw with a 3mm drill and then extracted it with a 3.5mm extractor. The new drain screw is part number 14T-14104-00 - available here Job done! B...

had enough of the TTR carb leaking fuel... Time to put the 32mm flat slide on... the carb is 12mm shorter the the TTR carb so will make a 12mm thick block to go between the head & manifold that will move the carb/manifold back 12mm to get the inlet into the air boot... put a 42 pilot & 50 main jet in it...

After breaking a couple of shafts (they are only made of brass) in the past trying to free a seized choke I decided to try a different approach today and it worked so I thought I would share it.

It says "Removing the carb can be quite a big job if the air box is removed first.". Actually that's the easy way to do it. I think this should say "Removing the carb can be quite a tricky job if the air box has not been removed first and you don't know the technique, but it can be done without damage to the in...
