    Welcome to the board. Try your Yamaha dealer or maybe Bikebandit.com for a carb kit. Not sure if either have them but that would be my first 2 choices. As for mods, I would just stick to the usual aftermarket pipe & air filter for now. I wouldn't start messing with internals until the enine needs an overhaul. These are great trikes BTW. Forks are famous for bending though, so watch the jumping & of course, the inevitable crashes.
    A whole bunch of trikes.

    If the carb is in bad shape inside from water corrosion then you should just buy a new one from the Yamaha dealer for $150.If you would like to get a rebuild kit check out www.denniskirk.com.

    To get the skrews off us a pair of chanle locks.Just clam them on the head from above and turn.If you can get them turned 2 or 3 times them spray the bolt that goes into the motor with WD-40 in there and let it soak for a little wile,that should lossen them up.
