The customer requested carburettor maintenance along with the motorcycle inspection.
The ZRX1100 is a lightweight classic bike. It looks current because of the Daeg, but it’s already nearly 20 years old. A hose had broken, which is what brought it in for this service.
I removed it as a single unit so I could inspect it thoroughly.
It’s in relatively clean condition, which is reassuring.
I wonder if all CVKs get this kind of rough texture inside…
There’s minimal rust, and the condition is excellent.
The float valve is still going strong at 54,000 kilometers.
I should clean all the parts with industrial cotton swabs. There’s quite a bit of buildup.
I polished the exterior as a test sample.
Once I synchronized it, it felt fantastic.
It feels like a brand-new carburettor now, and I’m happy about that too.
