Hi all

Could anyone tell me a place where I could send my carb off to for an over haul please?
It's leaking fuel so I think a seal has gone so it could do with being looked at, I've seen the group a ones on gttuning and ktec but I can't afford £100 and don't really need a fancy one at this point anyway.
I've seen that the kits are about £25 but I don't fancy taking it apart myself if it's going to be too difficult for me to put back together, as I've not done anything like that before.

Cheers

Jay

Hi the carb is quite easy to rebuild ur self the kit comes with pictures to show u were the bits go and there is a thread on here in the articles bit take pictures as u take it apart and lay the parts out in orders to make it easy to put back together

plus theres thats much info on here.. honestly yammers, get a decent screwdriver set and a couple of small spanners and do it yourself. If you get stuck with putting it back together post on here and plenty of us can help

Thanks for the help guys.
Managed to change most of the seals, apart from a few tiny black ones and the two green ones, i didn't come across any green ones while i was taking it apart.
Ive put it back on and it no longer leaks fuel and is starting and running ok, its a little lumpy and is a bugger until its warm but other than that it seems to be ok as far as i can tell anyway lol
