Hi,
I'm trying to order gaskets up for between the carb holders and the engine intake but for some reason I can't find any specific to my year. Am I wrong in assuming they all have the same profile?
Here's the description from where i'm trying to buy them.
"Intake Spiggot Gasket (Carb Holder Rubber) (Pk/2), OEM Ref.# 256-13556-01.
Fits: Between XS650 Manifolds (Carb Spacers) and cylinder head and between
the XS manifolds and the carb holders for the PWK 32.
Fits: 1970-84 650's Keihin Flatslide PWK 32mm XS Performance Carb Set for XS650.
Note: 2 sets required"
I have a '78 650 SE with BS38's. Do you think these would work? They took measurements for me and everything checks out except for the bolt centers for mounting, they get 67 mm and i'm measuring almost 70. I find it hard to believe the BCD's would change between years and that we're just measuring differently. What do you guys think?
