Re: 43F wont start after carb cleaning and air filter replac

thanks for your reply

the problem was, well, embarassingly simple, but strange.

43F wont start after carb cleaning and air filter replacemen

I completely disassembled and cleaned the carb but my 1986 43F just wont start.
I also added a K&N airbox filter.
Could it be because of the increased airflow?
Do I need to adjust the carb?
Needless to say it was quite cold outside...

oil tank alternatives?

Hey all

I am converting my Xt600 43F to a classic scrambler.
The original oil tank is not really appealing to the eye. Are there any alternatives?

Brit calling in from Zurich. New to this forum and also new to the XT world.
I bought a 1986 XT600 43F for cheap and reviving it.

I took apart the carburetor and cleaned it so it looks (and feels) brand spanking new (well almost)
I have a problem with the needle and its placement in the ...
