Re: GT550 Nicasil piston kit - buy
Had a look again and then remembered I posted last month about this on the SCEM Japan thread as follows....
I had had a look at my spare nikasil barrels and the right hand one needs replating, so will not help you. I have a few left and centre nikasil type barrels, but not the right one.If your 'new' barrel is in good condition with no scrapes or rough areas, then I think you should try it as it is it sounds ok. I notice that you have the earlier type carburettors on your bike and it should have the later linked ones, but if it runs ok, check the colour of the spark plug tips (light brown, fuel mixture ok, - white, too weak - black, too rich) leave it alone! That's the colour of the spark plug tip/ceramic that is normally inside the engine.
If you change the carbs, you will also need a new fuel tap and air filter, so just more expense.
So it looks like I don't have the spares you need.
