Thanks for the carb info Chrisu.
Does your workshop manual have the front fork oil capacity for the ST models??

[chrisu]

yes it does.








oh you want to tell you ?


dry 340cc
wet 310cc
oil level 480mm
sae 10w

on 1978 and later forks must be fully extended and no springs in them when measuring oil level.


so say my manual anyway.....................

Yes thank you Chrisu,
are these the same carbs as the mk11 then and do you measure from the gasket face to the top of the actual float, mine all measure 24?
anyway thanks again Mick.

[chrisu]

yup.

main jets are a different size but the rest is the same.

measurement is from top of float to surface face of the carb body.

I made up a tool similar to the special kawasaki one where you measure using a clear tube against the carb body. It screws into the bottom the bowl where the drain plug is.
