C70 6v Original Keihin Carb

[PhilB]

I'm after an original Keihin if anyone would be so kind!

They cost £170 new

Second hand will be just fine

If you do get one,make sure it is for a 70...the C50 carb will fit but will stifle it

Ok, thanks for that!
I did assume they'd be jetted differently but wasn't sure!.. What about the 70 and 90's?

C70 would use either a downdraft or sidedraft carb.....

Early big valve jobbies used the downdraft.

That's what I meant...the 50 downdraught carb will physically fit the early 70 but will strangle it....the 90 is a different beast altogether

Trying to upload a picture but it says 'file to large' and I'm not clued up enough to know how to fix this!

I had an old C90 Cub (I think) carb, and the manifold side is slightly larger / only 1 connection to the fuel tap / and the choke operation and fuel tap are on opposite sides to mine.

So if you're facing forward on mine, it has the choke to the left and 2 connections to the tap on the right side. (on my carb)

Does this clear this up for anyone!?

She's an 82 if this helps.

Upload it on photobucket and link to it using the Img box above ^.

As a temporary measure for this one email it to capitano AT bikerider.com and I'll stick it up here.

Some light reading for the future:-
