Today we’re doing the prep work on the carburettor (*’▽’)
As always, I’m not sure why I keep making careless mistakes when ordering parts… ( ；∀；)
BS34 BST—the ancestor of carburetors.
It’s a legendary carb that was also used on the Z1000J and GS1000S-2.
I think the very last model was the XJR1200 with a TPS…
I remember putting together a Mihara Specialty full power kit back then—good times.
Older carburetors have a lot of parts.
And they’re ridiculously full of co-tightened fasteners, co-tightened fasteners, co-tightened fasteners…
This one’s still okay since the idle mixture screws aren’t lock-type.
The Anniversary models, though…
Storing them in square containers pretty much guarantees you won’t mix things up.
You don’t have to worry about them tipping over, and there’s virtually zero chance of parts getting mixed up.
It’s a way to reduce the risks of sloppy storage.
A vacuum carb that’s picked up this much patina really shows its age…
We’re paying special attention to cylinders 1 and 4.☆
Just cleaning up the side profile of the carburettor makes it look so much younger.
We’ve got the prep work done.
We can’t assemble it today because of a parts order mistake…looks like I did it again.
