Shamelessly ripped this off another site, maybe useful for the guys here who want to build their own. Props to Troybilt for the drawing.

I think the guy I bought it off said it sat for a year, but there is no wear on the bike at all and he bought it new so maybe way longer, it's an 02... then another 18 months in my garage, my quad has sat for over 6 months before and been fine. I don't know if this was additive or just the...

yep use the stock wiring for the (brown wire from switch, I'm assuming there is no Hi/low on the HID's) coil on the relay, then the heavier gauge wiring / battery / lights all go thru the relay contacts..

Not sure, but I wondered the same thing. Motor is the same.. After a long soak in acetone the bowl actually cleaned up ok.. the rest took lots of carb cleaner and lots of scrubbing.. looks pretty good now.. all blew out fine.. everything seems clear... we'll see...

Thanks for the offer El M. But this is for my XR400. Maybe it was just old or had beem washed previously in gas.

Bollox! Well your braver than me so far... Can it really be fixed?

Or at least don't let gas sit in it... Got a feeling the guy I bought my XR400 off said he put an additive in the tank when he wasn't using it.. looks like it was maple syrup..industrial version.. Hard starting problem solved! It's so thick it's chipping off on the jets where I had a...

Ok so pulled my XR400r out to give it some TLC, it's been sat in my garage for over a year (or 2) with no lov'n.. Pulled off the super heavily oil coated UNI filter (got my brand new can of UNI cleaner I bought about the same time as the bike, pop off the top of the cleaner..no nozzle.. find a...

I'd help if I could.. it's rechargeable... but I honestly don't want to say yes.. then it doesn't... Hopefully someone else can help.. try PM'g Viking see what he used.

It's a Mark III Escort ...they were meant to be raced by BoyRacers... Funny though!

The Presidents British? Cool... now all you colonials fall back into line please, there's good chaps!
