Subject: The Carburetor Problem story continues
Hi,
some time ago there was a list of parts, which can be mounted into any Africa
Twin to get rid of starting problems after several days of standing still. This
modification was made by Honda from RD07 to RD07a and was meant to cost about
40,-DM.
Now as my bike is at the dealer for regular maintenance, I asked him to insert
this modification. He investigated and found out, that the parts cost about
80,-DM and the mounting about 60,-DM. But the mechanician resumed, that all
this results mainly in a different positioning of the air outlet of the
carburetor (Vergaserentlüftung) and asked me, if he could try something by
himself in this direction, which would be much more cheaper than the Honda
solution. I told him to do so and I'm looking forward to ride my Twin again
next week.
take care - Marcello (rrr#52, ATIC#9, 13,486% Squid, KotFBL - Africa Twin)
