Qlink/Konker/Qingqi Needle valve
I've been having problems with my carb leaking on my 2009 Qlink XF200. I would find a small puddle of gas under the carb if I left the petcock on.
I know... switch it off when I park the bike. But that just hides the problem. I pulled the carb thinking the float was off. But when I set it to spec the problem was still there. I concluded that I needed to change the float needle and seat. I found that the BS28 carb is used on a Kawasaki BN125 (Eliminator) and 1980's Yamaha XJ models. I went to my local Yamy/Kawy shop and we found a set for a Yamaha XJ550. I ordered it and it came in two days. Below is a pic of the package with the old set on the right and new on the left. You get the needle, seat. and a new screen. It cost me a bit over $23 with tax. Bike Bandit has the set but it's a bit more with shipping. I would rather get it local when I can anyway. I am happy to report that all is good after the install. As to setting the float to spec, I will post more below.
