I bought a bad condition Bandit.

I bought a bad condition Bandit.
I bought it for the ride.I got my bike after a long time.

It is very difficult to start the engine.
Even when engined, it blows black smoke.
So, I decided to disintegrate the carburetor.

First remove the tank.
I noticed that tank rubber was out of stock.First of all, I will order this.

After disassembling it is like this.
There is the trace that gasoline rotted.

I understood why the condition is bad.
This carburetor is attached to the block called main jet, slow jet, jet holder and can be taken independently.
↓ It is what I have with my hand.

The joint between the jet holder and the main body is rubber packing.
Naturally, if it deteriorates it sucks from the side.
It sucks a lot more than the amount weighed with the measuring jet.
I can also understand that it becomes thick and blows black smoke.

I was able to disassemble it all, so I will order the parts.
At the same time I ordered an air cleaner and an oil filter, so it took 17000 yen.
For now, the work of the carburetor is over.The rest is since the parts arrived.

Next, install the rear box (pannier case).
There is the thing which I bought before.
It is a large capacity type that can contain two helmets.

Such cases are designed to be screwed to the carrier.But this Bandit has no career, so I have to make it.
I will welding something to the tandem bar and make it a carrier.First of all, I removed the resin of the tandem bar.

I thought about processing KSR’s handle that was nearby to make it a carrier.Because it is too big, this is not usable.

I decided that I bend the iron pipe and make it.
