Are these really smooth bore carbs?

[cyclefvr2]

They look like standard carbies.

Are they?


Not hardly. There are certain things, float bowls, jet blocks, slides, lack of fuel screw, but if you can't see these characteristics....


The intake/filter side of the carbs tell the truth.





The fuel needles were pretty bad. I think the pic was one of the medium ones. I think they have a few more miles in them though.



I take it as they worked for a long time to get in this condition. Just need to fix'em up a little and they should work like new again. Maybe I can grind them down with the dremil if I put them in the drill press.

yea they look just like factory carbs that ive had on my kawi's
never got into them that much but real smooth bores had a lot of stuff done different than stock from what i remember
my kawi carbs were sweet thay had the accel pump on them
i would do some research on mic web site though since i dont know every set they made ect..

Those are 29's, the tell tale is the 4 holes on the throat of the carbs and the 17mm float drain plug. the 29's also came with brass floats.
