Hi, I have an old set of carbs off a sohc Honda. I would like to use them
on a 16v 750 I am bringing back from the dead. Does anyone know if this will work with simple jetting changes or am I dreaming again? I will probably be running pods/stacks of some sort so I will have to rejet anyway. I have another set of cv type mikunis. They appear to be huge and alot newer application... just an option? Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks
 
Anyone?
Should I just find a used set on ebay and rebuild them?
The motor I have did not come with carb's. It's going in a hardtail GS frame. So, I dont care about them being "correct", as long as they work.
The carbs I want to use are vm type and the 16valve came with cv?
But the main reason I like them is the trick polished alum. carb rack.
Once again any help or comments ar e greatly appreciated. And thanks again to everyone for the help in the past.
 
Post a pic. If they are oem carbs, then forget it. If they are adjustable-rack aftermarket carbs, then you will get people's attention.
 
Are these on an adjustable rack? If not, they won't fit the Suzuki spacing.

If so check the spigot outer diameter against your boots. If they fit or you can find some that fit (Sudco has many sizes). Then, change the spacing and finally, you can mount and fiddle with the jetting.

Personally your asking for problems. Muiniki carbs are easier to work on anyway..
 
Thats what I was looking for fella's. I will find some used mikunis and go from there. Any recommendations on a model or era of carbs or just find the stock ones that came on that model/year? Thanks. Gsresources rules.

Didn't Mackenzie71 on this forum do this? Might be worth getting in touch with him.

In this thread, he asked about using them, then proceded to not make very many friends.

In this thread, he talked about it some more, but said nothing more had been done.

Both of these threads were in June, 2008, I have not seen anthing else posted by him about his Kehin carb project.
