utadventure Posted January 31, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) If I remember correctly, there isn't a "kit" available, you have to purchase the parts separately. Clean it well. You might not need any internal parts. Remove the diaphrams and check them for rips or pinholes. Pinholes can be fixed but tears should be replaced. There was a special price worked out for replacements. A little searching will find them on the site. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32943 While you have it apart, you might want to adjust the needles. This can improve the fuel mileage. Again, if you needles don't have adjusters, you can change it changing the washers. There are instruction on the site also. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28432&highlight=needle+shim Dave Edited January 31, 2012 by utadventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
