will do.thanks.Sorry Ron - but I think you need to re-post using the "WANTED" tab - your message looks like you want to sell your carbs (which may very well be the case).
Incidentally, I am pretty sure that carbs from just about any year XS650 will fit your bike - but the Gurus should check and correct that statement.
Cheers,
Pete
ok.but if I had all 75 carbs and parts they just bolt on right?70's models cane with many variations of bs38's. 80's models had slight variations of bs34's. The good news is any year xs carb will fit any year xs engine, the bad is parts from 75 carbs aren't interchangeable with your 78's.
Yes they should.ok.but if I had all 75 carbs and parts they just bolt on right?
the guy time machine said others wont work.I think you are right personally.Yes they should.
the pctures of the bay items,i just won them.You see the pictures, what do you think.heres my take-the throttle cable is on the same side on all of them.all the 38s have the same size opening.the manifolds are all the same except the newest models.I see no reason if they have the angle iron etc that they wouldnt work.If I'm being honest I'm not sure what I said yes to now. I was thinking you were asking if you had 75 carbs in pieces would they bolt together and work on any xs, now I'm not sure lol.
The guy time machine.Not That guy.The word "that" sounds derogatory. The word the sounds explanatory.That guy "time machine" really likes the 78/79 BS38's !! I truly wish you. Ron, can easily replace yours and hope you do with minimal trouble !
Asking the local shop is not an option.Another story.Lets just say they are notorious.And the only one in town.Of an area of 6.7 million people they are the only one.It requires going 40 miles to dallas in suicide traffic to ask around.Much easier to just call. They have the market cornered here and they could care less about the customer.My carbs actually look very good.They look like I should just be able to bolt them on.But the choke doesnt move, therfore the butterflies do not either and hooking a throttle cable to them of course would achieve nothing.After soaking my carbs in 3 different cleaners they look good in regard to what is visible.If I removed the jets, perhaps one of them is messed up.For sure they will be clogged unless the 12 hours total of soaking unclogged them a little.No point of removing them if nothing else works.
Hi Ron,the ones I bid on have the angle iron and no chrome tops.thanks though.
