Give us a list of the parts you need - I have spares that would fit, and I'm sure the other guys would too - you'd be surprised what we'll do to help you....!!
There are plenty of parts available on e-Bay both in the US and UK, cheap too.
DON'T DESPAIR - Yours can also look like this - 1990 model 39000 miles......

Ok, I'll take a deep breath.. This bike is overwhelming when you start taking it apart.

I just got some crappy 10-40 from Sears to use to flush the engine when I try to start it. I'll clean the carbs and use my car to jump it.

If I can get it started I'll take it from there.

Thanks for the support!

 

Do NOT have your car running when you jump start it - you'll fry the electronics on the bike.
Throw a little WD40 in the barrels with the plugs out first, then rotate the motor, put plugs back, fire up engine, smile......

 

I got the plugs out last and sprayed some WD down into the cylinders. I have some carbs on the way from ebay and I'll build one good set from both of them. Plugs looked perfect. I guess this is a good stopping point for now.

Overall the bike is cleaning up nicely. Thanks for the help.

 

Shadow is right this site will surprise you. There is always somone who has had your exact problem.....every time. Search will keep you in line most of the time. I find myself on sometimes and never read a current post; before my kids tell me my internet time is running out. hehe

 

Just don't do what one of the guys did....put plenty of mracle oil in the pots with the tank off, then spun the motor with plugs out and got a miracle oil facewash, shirtwash, jeansclean.....ar ar giggle snort, choke....no names, for fear of retribution....he he

 

What's mracle oil?

 

Very thin machine oil, Like WD40 or Q20, good for rust penetration, lubricating the bores when a bike's been standing too long, etc etc. Gives you a nice speckled appearance all over your clothes, your face, your garage, if you spin the motor with the tank off.......

 

Update:

I started on the carbs this weekend. The carb body on #2 cracked as I unscrewed the top cover--DOH. Must have been a weak casting. The donor carb set came in from Ebay, so I transferred the needles and jets to that setup. I saw why the bike was sitting--Pilot #1 was 100% clogged and the mains were 60% obstructed. There was a crack on one diaphram as well that was repaired, but I threw this one out.

Interesting note: The 1990 carb casting is different than the 88-89 version. The 1990 has a fuel rail type of balancer on the top of the carbs, wheres the earlier ones do not.

It looks like it has a Dynojet kit in there. The plugs were perfect, so I transferred everything as it sits (DJ118 mains, 40 pilot, 3rd clip)

I didn't see any adjustment for the pilot jet?

BTW..I had to use hot water on the carb holders and yank pretty good to get the carbs out. Also I removed the airbox screws to make more room.

 

Thanks for the update - looks like you have the project well in hand.
If we can assist with advice, or just good old fashioned "chirps" give us a shout.....
