My bike was a yard ornament for probably 15 yrs also. However I know it has lived it's whole life in Houston. It does occasionally freeze here, but seldom a hard freeze. Who knows, those tubes are very thin walled. It couldn't be too hard to crack em.

I downloaded but couldn't open the KZR carb manual zip file linked to earlier here. Says no application is available to open it. Is that a Mac thing??? I have a funny feeling I need the information in there.

I have had good luck with this repair.

Thanks for all the pics and information. This will help a lot. I found some 1/8" tubing and a small tube cutter at a local hobby shop. I hope to start the repair today.

I will let you know how I make out!

Just a quick update on my repair work - the 1/8" tubing and a bit of JB weld worked really well. I assembled everything and fired it up yesterday...

Thanks for all the tips!
