Thx, found the kit. It's a 125 Eliminator (2002). It has been sitting
for quite some time (more than a year) and definitely needs a good
clean out as it won't start. I've just replaced the battery, the spark
plug, given it an oil change and now I need to clean that carb. When
it was ridden it was ridden hard so I'm going to go ahead and grab the
kit just in case. Thanks for the tutorial link (I'll need it I'm
sure). I'll be sure to look up your past posts as well.
