rawlins87 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Gf's dad has a seca im considering buying (1994 3.5k miles), only problem is he parked it and now the carbs are gummed up (hence the old bike with low miles).Wondering if theres anyone on here that could fix that for me and how much?Im a welder and can barter with weld/fab and/or beer to lower cost:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 No problem, can you get them to Massillon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Try running some Sea Foam through it first. That stuff 9 times out of 10 keeps me from having to clean a carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I restored a seca last year, if its been sitting that long you can bet that the petcock needs a rebuild, the carb boots need replaced and the carbs definitely need gone through. I can also do the ” ten cent re-jet” which involves removing the plugs that restrict you from adjusting the idle air mix and shimming the needles. I can make that bike run like new.

max power Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Pick up a rebuild kit and a couple cans of carb cleaner, yank the carb bank and bring them over. We'll get them cleaned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 +1 for Max, helped me with my 450 carbs and everything turned out the way it should! We wont get into the fact that after all that technical work we could not put on a skid plate and had to have Ben do that for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I had to replace the needle jet orifices on my FZR. Good chance you'll need them. http://www.factorypro.com/products/Mikuni_needle_jet_buy.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Chevy, not enough miles on the bike for the emulsion tubes to be egg-shaped yet, and pretty sure that problem was unique to the fizzer, I don't remember anything about it in the seca II forums.

And I figured they were prone to that issue too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Nope, different model carb. Prone to lean running and as a result, taking forever to run off choke. Solution Is to shim needles and adjust pilot air screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
