Thank you for the responses. I'm a bit wary on buying a new replacement given some didn't have success and the design remains unchanged. Being in Australia I would pay $45AU and wait a week so I may as well try a diy repair first or I have a spare set of parts carbs that have a better looking...
I woke my xs up today after a 4 year sleep and found that the tee was leaking and after a lot of searching I managed to find this thread. I tried to separate the carbs but couldn't free the screws up on the plate bracket so was wondering if there was similar experience that could offer some...
