Hello This last fall I picked up a 1980 250 LTD single that had had a neglected life. I do believe it only has 5300 miles on it. I have been working on it all winter and have most of the issues fixed but one. Carb related I have cleaned and sealed the gas tank, new fuel filter lines and air filter fuel shut off. Took the carb off and cleaned it the best I could at the time . It starts and runs but at an idle after about 3 minutes it starts to die but if you tap on the carb lightly it will idle good again for a few moments and then same thing happens The longer it runs the better it does get. It will also drip a drop or two of fuel out the overflow tube but not all the time. I have taken it around the block and runs nice over 2000RPMS. So before I take the carb off I have the following ?. Where is a good place to get parts for the carb, is there a kit one can order with everything needed or best it order parts one by one? I did buy a cheaper ultra sonic Harbor Freight cleaner to clean it better. And lastly is there a measurement for float height instead of the Kawasaki gauge (that I don't have). I do have float height rulers. And any other tips you may have thanks. The pic is after a long winter of work. JohnB
