GK76a SP Carbs - Help!!!
Hi all,
I've removed the carbs from my bike today (1990 SP) to give them a complete overhaul.
The screws in the carb tops were corroded quite badly but all came undone apart from one. A relative provided some assistance by putting some impact on the screw. Unfortunately they have managed to piss me off and snap the plastic carb top, and break the cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... Not HP!
Does anyone have a set of SP carbs I can buy or advise if another model uses the same cast?? Gutted.
Thank you,
J

Are these the same bodies as on the Bandit 400? Mikuni BST33's - if so I've got a set I bought to pinch parts from for mine and are now surplus to requirements and likely to find themselves on evilbay very soon. The castings are good, but look to have sat for years and are gummed up.

Thanks Chris. I've chucked a load of araldite underneath the screw plate and along the break. I *might* be lucky and get away with it... I'll find out pretty soon!
Hi reggit - they are 35mm ones that have a TPS on the side? So unsure if the castings are the same.
Cheers,
J

Re: GK76a SP Carbs - Help!!!
my suggestion would also be a rf 600 carb since those are the carb kits that fit
