Arrgghh, I picked up a Kawasaki ZXR250C model on the weekend, the seller was a nice guy and we had a good chat about what he did to the bike, basically he said they cleaned the carbs and it ran for a bit then it hydrolocked , he tried to buy seals and float valves for his bike from his local Kawasaki shop and they said... Yeah.. Nah ... it is an import. So I figure, lets have a look at what's going on, I undid the float bowl screws and the bowls were on there good and solid, I was like... hmmm, some more persistence and they came away, the guys had used so much gasket goo that the float bowl was stuck to the float. please , please , please buy a sealk it from @maelstrom aka Litetek.co do not use gasket goo
That'll do it. Only place sealants should be used is where the service manual says to! EG the rubber plug on stator wiring as it comes out of the cover etc.
This ingenuous person found a way to do without carby to airbox seals & screws in the one go, looks like crankcase gasket or grey maxx.
