The kit I got is a KandL. There are 2 sets of numbers on it. KLY-31 and 18-2879 The kit includes 5 small O-rings, the jet block and choke gasket, the large o-ring type gasket for the jet block end and needle valve and seat.

Thank you I will do that

Thank you. I think I had a problem finding the idle adj. screw is because there is no plug covering it up on any of my carbs. The only time the bike was at the dealer was after the original break in to check the oil and make sure it was running correctly. It was running fine when I took it back so I do not think they removed them. My guess is they were never installed. Has anybody heard of this? I will start cleaning everything up and rebuild the rest of the carbs while I wait for the new diaphragms. Thanks again

I wish to thank everybody for the help I have received. Although I do all my own maintenance I am not a very good mechanic. I just never had a bike this long with this many miles and now have to do what I would call serious maintenance. My 93 now has 100,000 miles on it. With the help from this site I have in the last year fixed the air compressor circuit board, a water and oil leak, replaced the steering head bearings, starter, and clutch plates. Because of a medical condition that will not be resolved till fall I decided to take on my last problems. I have now done a valve adj. and I think I have the starter clutch problem taken care of. The last thing is the carbs. I ordered 4 rebuild kits and took I carb apart and I see where the new gaskets and O-rings go. I have 2 concerns. The kit comes with a new needle valve and seat that I see must be pressed out from the bottom where it looks like a small disc needs to be removed. The kit has no replacement for this so what do I use to fill the hole? I have read about drilling out a disc to get at the idle adj. screws and then screwing them in gently while counting the turns so that you can put them back at the same point. I have also read that they should all be set at 2 turns out. So which setting should I use and the stupid question, where is it on the carb. I also took all 4 vacuum slides out and ordered 4 new ones as 3 had holes and1 had a tear starting at the slide. Again I wish to thank all for the help as I could not afford to have had a shop do all this work and the bike would be what I have seen called a boat anchor.

Thanks to who showed me to the valve adj. video. I have 6 new shims on order and will install and check them when they arrive. I took my first carb apart and the diaphragm has 4 small tears where it attaches to the carb body and 1 where it attaches to the slide. The slide looks okay. It looks like the best place for new diaphragms is CSI so I will order some. After looking at the slide and diaphragm I am not sure about how to replace just the diaphragm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There was a real good article on valve adj. with pictures that I cannot find now. Can anybody help please?

Thanks Goose

Does anybody still make the upgraded battery cables I have read about?

Thanks Jeff. I will be sure to check everything again and order new bolts

I need some advice. Although my starter on my 93 does not make any noise it seems to disengage rather quickly. I have removed the flywheel, starter clutch and gear. There are no cracks and the 3 parts of the clutch look okay, but the 3 bolts were all loose. Could this be my problem?
