Hello all,
Longtime lurker here. I recently changed up my 'wheeler situation and figured I'd start kind of a build thread.
So, here we go!
Since I took this pic the other day, just after I brought it home for the first time, I put new Scott ATV Grips on it and replace the carburetor needle valve and seat. I was able to find the right size parts at my friendly local motorcycle shop, but I think the Mikuni carb is not stock for the 84. I then adjusted the float way up (I think the previous owner was trying to compensate for the leaking needle valve by lowering the float height), and when I was done, it no longer overflowed the carb bowl or cut out on top end. It runs and rides great, now. It just needs to be geared up some.
Btw, will the hubs from a YT125 go on Tecate, by chance? If so, that would improve my gearing situation; I have some 22x11-8s on a parts Tri.
