Bandit 1200 Carburetor Maintenance

So here we have a Bandit 1200.
Lately it’s been leaking fluid, so it’s in for maintenance.
 

 
K6?
 

 
Well, it’s in decent shape★
 

 
Hmm, hmm!
 

 
There’s a bit of rust too!
 

 
Can’t read what’s written on it at all—it’s too small.
The stubborn ones we remove by filing down the Delrin slightly and tapping gently.
 

 
The rubber-type needle valve is tough★ Still good to go!
Overflow can happen from wear, but usually it’s debris clogging or an issue with the O-ring on the receiving side.
We adjust the fuel level using the float level, then double-check with an actual fuel level test!
Hmm…
 

 
We do synchronization here all the time, so it’s running great!
 

 
Perfect!
We’ll test ride it tomorrow and it’ll be done, so please come pick it up!
