Help with a TT600
I have a 1983 Yamaha TT600 that say for a long time (likely years) with gas in it. Previously, it started and ran very well. However, now after that has sitting that long, I have problems. I took the carburetor to a motorcycle mechanic to rebuild it, but he said that gasoline that sits a long time eats away the aluminum (I think is what it is) in the carburetor. He cleaned the carburetor but indicated that he thinks it is shot. Does that sound correct to you guys? I didn't know the gas would eat away the metal of the carburetor, I thought it would just gum it up.
