Ok guys,
So when I rejetted my carb I got my throttle cable twisted and in the process of trying to find out why my quad was idling so funky I twisted my idle adjusting screw in until it broke the spring so now I have to adjust it with pliers, I also noticed the previous owner did not put the o-ring gasket back on the side cover and top cover of the carb.
I went to the local Honda dealership to get the gasket set and they sold me a rebuild kit saying that is what I needed when it turns out it just had the o-ring for the float bowl and the jets and moving parts of the carb, I tried to return the kit but they would not let me so I rebuilt the carb. I have not got a gasket set yet so here goes the question.
I have to buy the idle adjust screw and the gasket set which will put me back about 35-40 bucks shipped OR I can buy a 450R carb and go that route then just sell my carb on ebay with the broken idle adjust for about 50 bucks I guess.
Is is a better route to fix what I have or to buy the 450R carb now and do that?
my mods are in my signature, thank you in advance for any advice.
Thanks
Geoff
