Like Dooden, I am still running Jake's Sagebrush Machine original Doohickey all these years later. It was an excellent product. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Harry Seifert" wrote:

carburetor problem solved

I repaired the diaphram when I first got my bike , and it lasted about a year. When it failed , there was loss of power,and some backfiring, but was able to limp it home for about 20mi. I bought the slide direct replacement for a Charlie Davidson big twin carb. My buddies at the shop could not believe it slipped right in. Wayne Burner Went for a ride Monday up by the White Mountains on the street bike, and took the KLR around the block a few times yesterday, not many riding days left.
