01 Bonneville Non Runner

Hello, new to the forum. I just purchased an 01 Triumph Bonneville with 12k miles on it. I bought it from a family friend who's owned it since new in 01. It's been sitting for several years. The gas is bad and the tank is varnished. The carbs overflow fuel when pressurized. I will remove and clean the tank and I plan on replacing rubber parts and filter. I want to rebuild the two carburetors. I'm trying to compile a list of parts that I'll need to rebuild the carbs. I want to put kehein parts back in the carbs, where is the best place to source what I need? Any suggestions or tips and tricks are welcome on getting this bike back in order. I also will do an oil change, inspect the chain, and put on new tires

 

Do they ship to the US for a reasonable cost?

 

I have lots of work to do. The Tank is rusted pretty bad. Hopefully I can save it. I also have a single OEM muffler if any of you need one.

 

So, got a lot done today. Something weird though. All the information I looked up so far shows the 2001 bonneville with a fuel filter and fuel pump in the tank. This one doesn't. Another thing is I can't see in the tank much at the filler neck since there's a baffle. Underneath is only the petcock. I removed the petcock it and it's pretty bad inside. I have vinegar soaking right now in the tank. I also found it odd there was also no inline fuel filter.

 

I inadvertently removed the tps sensor yesterday. I'll probably just put it back on and leave it unplugged.

 

Does anyone know where to get the little plastic filters for the tank tap/petcock? I need both.

 

So here is what I've learned so far: 1) I need a new petcock/fuel tap assembly since the screens on mine are completely gone. Probably the rubber o rings inside of it are too. I can't rebuild it because I can't find the replacement parts other than the gaskets. I can probably save the tank with my vinegar, followed by baking soda, followed by rinsing, drying, and coating in Marvel mystery oil (until I put non-ethanol gas in it.
2) The carbs are extremely expensive, but more than likely I'll only need a bowl gasket, float valve, and new screws (but stainless hex heads) and use a JIS bit to remove the old ones. I do not know what size hex bolts i'll need to replace the OEM ones with yet. I'll need new fuel lines and vacuum lines. Hopefully, the carbs are still balanced. I bought a jet cleaning kit to hopefully keep the oem jets.

 

Decided to go with Pingel 6211-CH with Adapter A1602C . It's about 170 dollars no matter where I order it. It's only about 10 dollars more than the OEM fuel tap.

 

Here is where I'm at: The tank needs another vinegar soak. I think one more and it will be pretty much rust free. I have to order a new fuel tap. I will be breaking down the carbs soon. Gas apparently did go into the crankcase at some point when it was left stored. I will be doing a flush with cheap oil and a can of seafoam soon, maybe tomorrow. In reference to fork oil....do I really need to fully disassemble the forks just to change the fluid? Or can I just suck it out through the top caps? The seals are fine, but the bike is an 01 so I want to change it. I have a laundry list of maintenance procedures, including checking the valve clearance. If they need adjusting, I will for sure let the shop do it. Pulling the cams is more than I'm willing to trust myself with.

 

The fuel hose (T3620008) needs to be replaced on my bike. There's a little in line filter that doesn't seem to be available except for under a kawasaki part number (49019-1085). Would you guys have any objection to me using an in line k and n fuel filter instead? The small clear plastic ones. I'd have to cut a section of line to fit it but it would be easier to monitor as it got dirty.
