So last year i purchased this 97 XP ...iv done much research and cannot come to a conclusion...
Replaced the plugs, replaced the grey fuel lines...replaced the rave valves and cleaned them out...only thing that broke this season after i took it out of winterizing was the Gas gauge stopped working....
Its always had a little miss from idle to WOT...especially when its colder...most of the time it will shut off when you get on it unless u ease into it to WOT
I decided to clean the carbs out recently as per articles you guys have written in the stickies, and literally everything looks immaculate...no green build up, no residue anywhere...seals look perfect...the black very thin baffles or diaframs seals (no idea on the name)might need replacement as i wouldn't have the slightest idea how to tell their condition, but they look perfect to me too, no rips or tears...do you guys recomment buying the rebuild kit regardless?
What else could i look into to see if its clean or working properly?
its really annoying not having that low end pull from idle to even take off...TOP speed it does perfect...kept up with my friends 1100 triple Kawasaki ...just low end it suffers
Here is a few pics of the carbs
Thanks guys
