Hi All,
I am new to the TDM family, just bought a TDM 850 a couple of months back. So far havent been off to the best of starts.
I had a running issue around 4k revs, which made the bike buck, bog down, and eventually die, having to have the choke on to make it run again to get it home.
With some investigation I believed I narrowed it down to a couple of things, the airbox not seating correctly, letting a lot more air into the mix. Also, the carbs needed a good service/set up.
Long story short, I serviced the carbs and refitted them took it out for a ride and the same thing was happening. So out with the carbs again and then noticed you could take the full emulsion (what I think is the emulsion tube) sleeve off with a spanner after taking one of the jets out. I then proceeded to try and take the emulsion tubes out and have absolutely f***ed one with my hamfisted annoyance at the whole situation, shortly after realising they were pressed in at the factory....great.
I am now trying to find a replacement carb set:
My carbs are: 4TX4 40 TO21
I found a set on ebay, with the code: 4TX4 40TBY5
Can anyone tell me if they are similar? the same with different numbers? or completely different? I need a bit of help deciphering the codes.
After reading the pinned model list, I believe my bike to be a 1998 registered in 2000.
Any help, would be much appreciated.
