Did you sell the seat? I know its been a while.
I did replace:
vacuum lines, air breather and filter, Y-exhaust gaskets and cannisterectomy.
It seems to have made the backfire more acceptable. Seems to have more oomph.
BUT it is much...
Chupaca:
how do you check the Y gaskets without tools? I did replace the Y gaskets, a year back in
an attempt to fix backfire. Did not fix it. Do not know what previous owner did for farkles...
