well hello there Katriders community! So i just bought a 91 vin code m with some known issues.needs mirrors 2nd gear slips out needs a coil wire and new gas cap. didn't test drive it heard it run 3 months a ago and its been sitting in a garage. kicked the tires, gave it a skim over and bought it. before i get ragged on i ordered a service manual. And i'm new to the forum world so please go easy on me haha. so i've done things like pull car and truck engines and transmissions and rebuilt and reinstalled and have had and worked on a plethra of atvs. so i can hold my own relitivly well around equipment but am no master mechanic. so here it is. i trailerd it home with a near empty fuel tank. there was a spot in the garage on floor, it was gas seeping past the o ring for petcock knob shaft.( i have the 2 port outlet petcock). i took it apart and decided i was going to rebuild it. hence not running it for fear of fire.
the 1st issue-between the conical valve selector and back of valve body i saw a mangled piece metal, which appears to be a spring washer and it was part in port, as i understand it spring pressure holds diaphram open when in prime to allow free fuel flow to carbs. does this piece come in the rebuild kits? because the pictures and descriptions ive seen are unclear
2nd issue- the vaccum port comes off the upper right side of far right carb. are all the carbs the same, because the 1st 3 carbs dont have that same port plugged.
3rd issue- crankcase was full of gas. i drained it out, bout 2 gal worth, no metal on magnet or in drain pan. is it possible the petcock which may have been in prime position, along with the spring washer allowed gas to gravity feed into crankcase?
looking for a little direction to get started before i get the book n tear it all down. i wanna ride it to see how it acts before i get in to it
thanks jeremy
