Let it cure completely. The patch must remain flexible; rigid glues will crack instantly when the slide moves. 2. Fixing Air Leaks at the Vacuum Cap

A "Mikuni BS25 carburetor diagram patched" is the digital equivalent of a band-aid on a bullet wound. Use the diagram to understand the original airflow and fuel curves, then use that knowledge to buy replacement parts.

The tiny O-ring on the mixture screw (air screw) often rots, causing erratic idling.

Clean the rubber thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol (do not use carb cleaner, as it melts rubber).
