I am having problems with my daughters Raptor 80 with Mikuni carb. The bike will only run when the choke is on.
I have disassembled and dipped the carb and will be putting it back together soon. My question is, is there supposed to be an o'ring on the end of the air idle screw and/or the throttle stop screw? The exploded view in the manual isn't very clear. It looks like the air idle screw doesn't get one and the throttle stop screw does? I don't have an o-ring on either (just a spring and washer) and was thinking I may have an air leak at the throttle stop screw that is causing my troubles? I was hoping this might be the same across many Mikuni carbs and I could get some help here?
