Title: Keihin carb
Post by: thrownchain on March 29, 2009, 05:02:49 PM
With a parts lot I picked up there is a Keihin carb in the stuff. It's a spigot mount and I beleive it was on a Sachs motored Penton with a low expansion chamber pipe. I know everyone looks for Bing and Mikuni, but anyone want to give this carb a try?? I cleaned it and it's in good shape. Taking offers.  Thx

Hey, thats funny, I just put one on my 74 250 today. So far I'd say it has lots more clearance. Hopefully it cold starts better than the Bing. This Keihin looks like new and is a 38 so I thought why not...I have had everything else on it. Wont know how she runs till I finish it up with a shorter cable. Would not have been my first choice but sometimes you get good suprises. Paul

Mines a 28mm unit, would probably work on 125 or maybe the 152 motor?
