Help ZXR250 idle spring and tank

Hey everyone now that it's getting warmer really keen to get my bike back on the road, does anyone have or know where I could get an idle adjuster spring for a zxr250 and possibly a new petrol tank as mine is a bit rusty unless anyone has some good tips for cleaning out rust,


Thanks everyone

 

Can we get a pic of how bad inside your tank is? I may have a c model tank you can purchase but if your tank isn't springing leaks you should be able to clean it out with a soak overnight in vinegar then a flush with the gurney. Then you dont have to worry about paint or anything like that.

 

^ +1 for the vinegar trick - white vinegar is cheap as chips and works absolute wonders on rusty tanks

 

Hey na it doesn't leak just has a fair bit in there I'll try it get a pic tomorrow, so if I do the vinegar idea do I need to put anything in there to stop it rusting again? Thanks

 

Also anyone have any idea about the spring that I'm after ? Seems impossible to find one

 

http://www.millwaysparesonline.com.au/partFinder/fiche/127422 seems to be 92081-1620, should be able to orginise a few other odds and ends thru these guys if needed as well

once you flush and dry it out, of you keep non e10 fuel in there you should be pretty allright e10 absorbs more water

 

Thanks heaps huntsman that looks like the part number and thanks I'll try the vinegar idea

 

anytime ben, If its the same spring as i think it is i may even have a spare one come to think of it, you could probably just have it if i i find one

 

Turns out im an idiot and now i know that its the same spring as the pilot screw adjusters i definitely have a spare, i will post you a present tomorrow as i have your address in a pm I should getaway with sending it as a normal letter. Pm me it again if you like just to make it easier for me. Sorry it took soooo long to work that out doh!

 

You're a legend! I'll pm you now

 

Here is inside the tank

 

That's cleanable mate!

 

So just the vinegar method?

 

What would be a good way to give it a good clean out if its mostly not rust?

 

This is the tank tonight looking much better

 

You can see the vinegar still bubbling away, refill it again and let it sit another night and you should be golden

 

Yep re soaking it now so once I flush it, do I just dry it then fill it up straight away with petrol and should be all good?
