Vanson1200R

Is there a solution to removing the main jet out of the TYF carburetor? I rebuilt the carburetor but without removing the main jet and after assembling and installing the unit the BRAT still will not run. My fear is that I still have crud in that passage.

It's a metric mile but I work at a ZF Marine transmission shop so that's a non issue. I can make it work but even the directions are incorrect lol

I thought the same at first but there is nothing to hold the rounded ends in the spring perch. It could sit static but any strut extension would result in the strut falling apart. Another issue is that the perch will not even fit over the end of the strut! Ugh...

I added a photo.

Has anybody bought or have experience with the Gabriel Ultra struts with ride height adjustability? I just opened the box and they don't make any sense. The spring perch won't even fit over the strut itself and the adjusters are totally unlike the original struts. And of course no instructions.

Still minor carb issues and currently running Seafoam through it. Any of you guys ditch your stock fuel tank for a fuel cell? My tank's suction and return lines are clogged after 20 plus years of sitting. I found a fuel cell that would fit in the bed and take up very little room.

Its Alive!

Its Alive!

Its alive! Thanks naru2!

That was it!

Huh. I did not know there was a filter under the banjo bolt. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info. I took the carb off and took it to my shop I work at and flushed it with warm solvent and gave it a good shaking to get all the solvent out but once I reinstalled it I had the same issue. I'll tap it with a soft hammer then like you said I have nothing to loose by taking the top off.

It does not appear to. The strange thing is that it ran about 8 months ago before I swapped in my Pick and Pull transmission. It has been warm and dry inside my garage but now the accelerator pump won't squirt.

I installed a new fuel pump and replaced all the fuel lines and filters. I turn the key and the pump starts, filters fill up and I get fuel out of the return line but no fuel to the motor. I dump gas down the carb and it runs for a few moments or as long as I'm dumping gas in it. Any ideas?

I think I will do just that.

The data tag on my Carter Weber reads TYF7419SA. Most of the catalogs I'm looking at gives me two choices of carburetors and I'm not sure which one to go with for my application. One asks for two vaccum lines on the pulse solenoid (what's that?)

Fantastic information thank you. I think I will pop for the complete rebuilt unit to eliminate any issues and then keep my old carb as a extra.

Yeah, I would like to have a reliable driver. I'll replace glass and window seals and such. Going to mostly be a in town car and fire service road explorer.

I picked up a 82 Brat from a field in northern California and towed it to northern Washington. It was parked in 1996 with a full tank of gas so I'm pretty sure I will just go the fuel cell route. The original T81W transmission was stuck in 4th gear so I pulled one out of another Brat at the local Pick N Pull (lucky find!). I have it all put together (along with a working center/cyclops light) but I think my original Carter/Weber carb is to gummed up to function properly. Until I install the fuel cell I'm sucking fuel from a 5 gallon can (new fuel pump and fuel lines) and gas is getting to the carb and also returning to the can via the fuel return line but it wont fire. If I dump gas in the carb it will run as long as I'm dumping it in. Hmmm. I have the wrong intake for the Weber 32/36 and a rebuild kit is non existent for the original Carter/Weber. Any ideas?

It's getting my hands on a refurbished T81W like trying to obtain unobtainium?

I have a (mostly) rust free 1982 BRAT GL and a 2014 XV. The BRAT is in good shape after sitting in the northern California sun for 23 years with the transmission stuck in 4th gear. It's on my work bench and split open and I found the problem. Now I must decide if I want to repair or replace.
