Default 2001 DRZ400E Carb Tuning & Repair

Yes I know I need to start a dirt bike section on the forum. I will be doing that soon but until now I'm just listing this for the record so I can get my notes down and the links that I use posted for reference.

A good friend of mine acquired a Suzuki DRZ400 that was ridden only a handful of times and stored for years. It hadn't been used in a long time and we found out why. The bike ran but it wouldn't take off very fast at all but it would rip out of your hands when you got on the top of the rpm powerband. The accelerator pump rod was completely missing! What the heck? What is wrong with people working on their bikes and completely leaving out parts when they put them back together? Just my luck.

So anyhow the part is on national backorder through the Suzuki and Kawasaki parts network and they don't exist in inventory anywhere so we are stuck waiting on a new one. I expect to be waiting another 2-3 weeks on the part. In the meantime I have the carb on my bench for inspection.
