Yea thanks alot NC! I have used the other carb from the other kit for the meantime. I think I will break it in using the basic carb and later changto CNS carb when I am more familiar with the whole process.
DO you think I am good to go, using spacer, with the milling seen above the screw in the picture?
Although my carb IS completely flat in the gap, there are several versions of the CNS carb so I can't say there is something wrong with the milling I see, it looks to me like that is deliberate and proper.
When I first put the carb on my bike I had to loosen the screw and pry the gap open a bit before it would fit on the intake (with the stock spacer in place), when you tighten the screw it clamps down on the spacer around the intake and locks in place. Some gap will still remain when its clamped up tight, so I think you are good to go if you just get the proper spacer.
Although making one yourself would be pretty easy and cheap, if you dont want to bother making one I might suggest you buy a CNS carb rebuild kit, it should include the spacer in addition to all new jets, float, air filter and the rebuild kit is pretty cheap. Not a bad idea to have some spare jets around any ways...
Good luck to you...
