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

Hi J,
If the alloy used is weldable i can repair rebuild the alloy so if you completly stuck PM me.
Chris.

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

No, mine will be unsuitable for you.
cheers,
Dave.

i have a spare top bit if you want it (sounds like the bit you cracked) , surplus as not repairing my carbs just bought a new set!

Cheers mate... It's not just the top bit though... It's the cast too. Where the plastic top is screwed into

katana or gsxr carb look for 35 mm on a bigger bike if suzuki you will find a match even if its not a 76a

Thanks gsxr400 racer :)

my suggestion would also be a rf 600 carb since those are the carb kits that fit
