As I mentioned, this is my first bike with a hidden carb. The carburetor was in pretty good shape, in desperate need of new fuel line and a cleaning. At some point it had overflowed, evidenced by the buildup of varnish next to the oil pump. The throttle valve was stuck, but a tiny spritz of WD40 freed it up instantly.

| Notice the varnish towards the bottom, on the oil pump |
 |
| I took this picture as a reference for the oil pump cable adjustment |
 |
| The throttle cap and enricher valve came off with ease |
 |
| Jet and jet emulsifier removed |
 |
| Its good to have a picture of the jet number |

| Mikuni VM17-18 |
 |
| A nice, simple carburetor is a thing of beauty |
 |
| I believe the replacement fuel line is 7/32, and the OD works well with the grommet in the case |
