Capri18 - 29/8/09 at 05:53 PM

Hi all, i just got these bike carbs off a mate dirt cheap he says there off a ZX6 does that look right?



Can anyone tell me what these two parts are for, i'm pointing at them in the pictures.



In that last photo what are the black things down the trumpets? choke flaps?
cheers

Look good to me, ask him for the other 3 inlet rubbers though as this cost a fair bit

Look in good condition though.

Cheers

Rich

The black things down the trumpets are the slide pistons... They slide up and down accourding to the flow through the trumpets and the needles are attached to the end of them.

It's archived in RAR format, any unzip program should open it, I use WinRar.

Once it's open it's in .pdf format, you'll need Adobe Reader to see it.

Mine's central

I still say Honda.

Stick cbr carbs into ebay and you will see carbs like yours.

Do the same for zx6r or others kwak's and I cant see one set like yours.

What do they measure at the inlet dia ?

I have a set of blade carbs in the garage and have had another four sets.

I've got 3 sets of zx6 carbs and none look like that. I agree that they are probably CBR600 carbs.

The inlet dia is 38mm and th manual that unclefista posted is definetaly the one for the carbs i have so they must honda ones cheers for your help, i'l probably have a load more questions when it comes to jet sizes etc

Altiss engineering also do the same service as Bogg Bro's

Suzuki ones would be easier the modify though - Jenvey throttle bodies are 42mm the GSXR 750 are the same.
