I helped my dad on his a while back. It really wasnt all too hard. Find a youtube mechanic video.

 

Did my m900 and r6 carbs. It's not too bad

 

I can save almost $100 if I do it myself....and I likes saving monies

 

And you'll know more about the bike. I normally try to do belts, fluids, valves and carbs. I don't mess with the ecu, efi, flashing stuff

 

I might try to pick up a used factory carb. I found one on fb marketplace. That way if I get to a place where I need help, the bike won't be off the road.

 

Ok, I've been reading up on the DRZ carb. Apparently there are 2 different models. A Keihin FCR39 and Mikuni BSR36 CV. The FCR39 came on 2000-2006 DRZ400E(dirt only) and 2000-2003 DRZ400K(I believe this was the early "S" model). From my readings, the FCR39 is a much better carb and one of the best carb upgrades you can do.

I have found a sales ad on fb for a FCR39. I sent the guy a message. Hopefully I can get it and not have to worry about getting it rebuilt right away.

 

Just get a cheap ultrasonic cleaner for when you have to rebuild the thing. Makes cleaning off the shitty ethanol varnish easier.

 

Would something like this work?

I don't see why not. I've got an old (discontinued) 2L one from some metallic cartridge reloading company. A few of the keys to good ultrasonic cleaning are picking the right solution and heat. That one seems to have a heater.

 

I found a 2L one for just a few more bucks

Good Morning Everyone

The tank size doesn't matter as much as the interior dimensions. Make sure it fits the carb body. I think a 2L size is good for most home uses. I use mine a lot. Bolts get pretty rusty around here. I just toss some vinegar or rust remover in mine and put bolts in it as I take them off. They are perfect by the time I am ready to put them back on.

 

Howdy!

 

Just stoking the fire and having coffee

 

Morning Kevin

 

I might try to pick one up. I plan to rejet it anyway, so if the jets are clogged.....it won't matter

 

I freakin hate carbs, dude.

 

I'm looking for 7am

 

I've never dealt with them. I don't think they should be much different than building an AR. I don't have any doubt I can do it. I'll just find some vids to watch and teach myself
