Thanks Jonesfxr, that makes sense, I suspect my threebond on the seals would help some with that as well.

No problem dude.... that's what we're all here for!!!

From what I understand... the triple piped machines with higher compression are more susceptible to this leak, due to increased crankcase pressure.

Nice to see a GP1200R being rescued! Nice to see it's in Alberta too!

That makes sense more pressure in a triple.

Thanks! I am in Lethbridge, the ski was from Med Hat but not sure on the history as it was in pieces when I found it... Should have it back on the water in the next month or 2!!

Cool I used to have a 99GP1200 about 10 years ago so looking forward to getting back into it. We go to BC and Montana lots well that was before covid but hopefully by next year that will be an option again too.

Finally got all the parts needed for the carb rebuild, was waiting on the Mikuni kits, rejetted as per Bills specs 125 mains, 110 pilots, 1.5 N&S and 9g springs. Tested popoff for all 3 is in the 40-42 range so I got them bolted in and installed the primer as well.

Next is the exhaust install then we should be ready for a test fire!!

We finally installed our carbs the other day. We went with 1.5 N&S, 80 gram spring, all stock jets, 1 out on lows with 1 3/8, 1 3/8, 1 1/2 on the highs

Thanks dude!!! She fired up, but we’ve gotta dial in the idle.
Now that we know it’ll run, the Advent is going in!!
