Looking for a little help on a Mikuni VM-28 carb.
I have a friend/customer ask me to work on his Blaster for me. The problem I was told is it leaks gas from the carb while sitting....Needle and seat....No problem.
I was also told it's been sitting for a while...After dropping the bowl I discovered it's been sitting a looooong time. Everything is varnished up pretty bad ( Stunk the whole shop up ) but I think I can clean and rebuild it.
The problem I'm having is finding a rebuild kit for it. I've seen kits for the VM-30, 32, 34 but not a 28....Are they the same?
Also what's the deal with removing the oil injection line going into the carb? They have a non removable clamp on it. I would like to remove it so the carb cleaning solvent doesn't harm rubber/plastic line. When I removed the carb I took off the oil pump too and left them connected.
Thanks in advance.
