Title: Carb bowl upgrade kits.
Post by: thrang on March 28, 2015, 12:44:33 PM

I've just got the upgrade carb bowl kit from Motorworks for the Bimbo. Has anyone fitted these and if so, any advice hints etc.  (Except the usual faff that goes with setting the float needle hight-I know all about that!)

I've rebuilt carbs numerous times before and its a pretty straight forward job but I thought I pop a question out in case there are any hidden gremlins I should know about?
Thanks

Yes that's the puppies, thanks for the link to Snowbums, it was most informative. I'm going to give them a go, as my floats are shagged.
Cheers Tony.
