anyone know where could i find a shop to properly rebuild my carb? im on 30mm mikuni, the float bowl gasket is busted, thought would be a good time to just replace all the needles, float etc

I suggest trying Khun Daychaa. If he cannot do the job, he will recommend someone. He specialises in repairing older cars---he only repairs cars with carburettors, no fuel injection etc. He is competent, reliable and remarkably reasonable. He does not speak English however, so unless your Thai is good take a Thai friend with you. To get to his shop these are the directions. Drive out of the city on highway 1006, towards Sankhampaeng. Cross the Superhighway. Drive a bit less than 1km. On your RHS you will see a large shop on a corner which usually has forklift trucks, golf buggies etc outside (and parts from wrecked cars inside). Turn right immediately after this shop. Drive about 100m and his shop is on the right---it looks like a house, but if you look in through the front gate you will see lots of cars being repaired. Hope this is helpful. PM me for his phone number.

If you don't want to do it yourself, any good bike shop can do this. It's very basic. 10 mins when the carb is off the bike.

The Thai who has serviced my m/bikes since 2002 tells me carb kits are OK , providing the 'Bore' of the Carb is not worn.

Once that is out of limits there is nothing you can do but replacement Carbs.

Just to be clear, Khun Daychar is an auto mechanic, not a motorcycle mechanic.

Yeah, I guess the hint was in 'Mikuni' that this is motorbike related. (Or snowmobiles and marine engines apparently, I looked it up.)

Where in Thailand are you?
