I feel your pain with those Honda carbs. I think today’s fuel is hard on those diaphragms and shortens their lifespan. I like the vintage Yamaha carbs. Even I can disassemble them and clean them properly. It’s a regular event here with my herd that just don’t get enough exercise. Although I ride them a lot more now that I am retired.

Schu good to hear you are getting out and about. I couldn't agree with you more, the carb on the DT125 has worked flawlesly since I cleaned it and it's easy to access. Some of those engineer teams got some things really right and other things were, well rather questionable. Didn't someone say something about not being able to cook an omelette if you don't break eggs, whatever
