    if you have to change your carb never use TNT carbs. i bought mine from pedparts, brilliant company to work with and to order from, but TNT as a product are so useless i fitted it to the bike to find the float at the bottom had a hole in it so the petrol just squirted out the bike!!! its getting sent back to pedparts and relaced with a diffrent carb hopefully!!!!
