As per the title really, I've started refurbing carburettors for guys in the Facebook forums for fazers and other bikes so thought I'd post on here too.


£100 starting price which includes the stripping and ultrasonic cleaning of the carbs as well as the rebuild.


All parts required are + the cost above and can be discussed prior to refurb if you already know what you want/require or wait until they have been stripped to see where any problems are hiding.


I'm also going to look at the possibility of ivanising (1000 only) the carbs too if there is enough interest?

  🤔 I have noticed a number of mechanics doing M.O.Ts put a trolley jack under the collector box to get the front wheel off the ground to check the front wheel bearings, forks etc for play.  If this is a common practice it could be the reason so many of the rear collector box brackets fractures?  I always push the back of the seat down to allow these items to be checked. What do you think?

"Expect you hope to be finished in time for Mayday, when hopefully the weather bucks up"

Neither will be happening the way it's going - job's are piling up. Just confirmed that May Bank holiday weekend I'll be working at Goodwood and between then and now I've got a job on near Teeside as well.

And as for the weather......... (I blame Brexit, Dominic Cummins, Donald Trump, The Russians, Immigration, etc etc  )

Thanks for the tips.

What about the needle valve and seat ?
Do these also tend to wear or it's just the o-rings that seal it ?

It's usually just the O-rings that fail.


In my experience, none of the aftermarket needle valve kits work as well as the OE parts.  Then tend to have different needle spring tension which affects the float level, which is important if your carbs have been 'Ivanized'.

Shouldn't this have been in the What did you do with your Fazer today thread?

Should of, could of - killing two birds with one stone here!
