Actual carb removal

[Lucero]

Um, can anyone help me identify the rubber stopper missing from the third to last picture above? What part number is that on the carb blowout bccap posted earlier? Was 38 right? I'm not sure that's the right one.

I want to get these ordered soon...the weather is too nice!

Finally...

Well, I've been conversing with Ashley from Boulevard Suzuki, recommended by bccap a while back, for close to a month now. After a hefty amount of leg work, they have identified and obtained the two parts I needed so I can start rebuilding these suckers.

Shipping out today, and I'll start the rebuild work upon arrival.

Probably just going to use some kind of epoxy to cover the hole in the airbox.

Chokes rods right?

Funny enough, I don't think the choke plunger and individual pieces are separate/available parts.

Was Ashley able to provide a part number, or did she perform some sort of voodoo hocus pocus to turn up a set for you?

The parts arrived, individually wrapped in parts bags with parts numbers, etc. They have an entire carb blowout with every teeny tiny part listed separately, so either they are available individually, or she is a magician.

Now it's just a matter of dedicating the time necessary to reassembly.

Although I did hold off on buying the replacement intake boot I need, hoping to find one locally and not wait another month.

Embarrassing bit about the rubber piece - it wasn't missing, just assembled wrong. When I finally bothered to take a closer look, I noticed this almost immediately. But I suppose replacing a 30 year old part with a new one isn't a bad idea anyway.

I wondered about that rubber gasket in that picture...you just had the nut on backwards? I'm surprised nobody picked up on that.

I didn't have it on backwards. I didn't disassemble anything that didn't need disassembled. I assume one of my friends did it, or I would have noticed it much sooner. Literally, the first time I actually sat down with it, I was like "oh..."

So it goes.

As for no one else catching it...well, I dunno. It isn't the best picture in the world. Maybe others wondered, but said nothing? Beats me.
