Will GK76 carbs fit a GK73?

Post by DomG. »

Hi, This is probably a stupid question but I need new carbs for my GK 73 as I can't get the Idle jets out (seized tight) and all the needles look like someone has been abusing them. I was hoping a set of GK 76 carbs would fit as these I'm told have T.P.Switch this would be really good as my T.C.I. has inputs for one. :ugeek:

Only the GK76a SP has the TPS which is rare as rocking horse poo. I've been looking for a set for 6+ months.

I would guess its unlikely you can use 76a carbs as I've recently seen an advert on fleabay. Someone bought them for a 73 and found they didn't fit so selling them on.

Thanks for your posts, I had asked the vendor on ebay why the carbs wouldn't fit they said that they may fit and that they had GK73 carbs with slight fuel leak but vendor didn't know where leak was. I left those alone as I thought I might be buying more trouble.
Thanks for the link to the bandit Carb hopefully I will be able to get them.

Thanks Variablevalves suck & TeamGSXR
