          Guys, i have a doubt with regards to my carb fitted onto my impulse. Firstly, can anyone please tell me whats the model number of the Keihin Carb. I know that it is a 28mm but is it PE or PWK ?

          Now lets go on to the issues i am facing. I bought my brand new impulse around a month ago and i have covered 1500 kms since then. Few days back i observed that some amount of fuel was leaking from the lower side of the carb. Showed the same to my mech. He opened the bottom most chamber where the float sits, told me that the gasket is blown ( As the bike was sitting for 3 years ) and that a new gasket is very hard to source. So he put the silicon gasket bond and refit the whole thing and then there were no issues till yesterday.

          In the morning, before starting the bike, i saw a pool of fuel underneath the carb. Please note that i switch off the petrol tap whenever the bike is not in use ( Later got to know that the petrol T is busted ). I could see that the fuel was leaking from the overflow pipe outlet whenever the bike was shaken.

          Showed the same to my mech again and he said that the needle inside is the culprit and i need to change the carb and put the one from the 200NS. Now i surely know this cannot be such a major concern, so i am planning to open the carb, clean the bottom chamber and put everything back again . I feel that the float is not seated properly.

          My friends from the Xbhp delhi also suggested me to do the same.

          Now i hope there is nothing seriously wrong with the carb.

          Any help or advice would be surely appreciated.

          Thanks
          I had this problem couple of months back.

          Changed both the float and float pin. No issues since then.

          Cheers,
          Kshitij

          Great pics. Looks like you literally take your bike to the edge

          How is the on road performance of those knobbies ? or do you have a separate pair for on-road duties?

          Cheers,

            Yaah 19'. Available in India. Check the IRC's site online they might ship it to you. Contact them over mobile I'd say. I got these from Delhi.

              Thanks.


              On road they tend to sway and wander a lot. Front end becomes a little too flickable and mad (being precise). Suddenly riding on knobbies on tarmac is scary. Once get used to it one can scrape footpegs on corners. I did.

              I yet dont have spare CEAT one's. I had these plonked on at the time of RaidDeHimalaya. Ill buy them though once these will worn out.

                  Not available here per se but the local tyre dealer sources from somewhere else and upon asking he orders the same within few days or weeks. 17inch rear you can opt for several ones. 110/90 and 120/80 too ! Finding a front 90/90 is hard.

                    For the front you can go for a vee rubber. My two friends are using it and I myself have ridden their bikes. It's a brilliant tire. I will share the model number soon. It costs 3k
