alky carbs

[nuc_welder]

Just want to know if I can use a set of alky carbs for gas? I know I'll have to do a little work on them first. Just seems like theres more alky carbs for sale than gas carbs.

Keihin PWK or PJ's cannot be converted back because the dump tubes (what the needle goes through) have to be drilled out. They cannot be replaced. I belive you can replace the dump tubes on Mikuni carbs though.

A common misconception is that you can't change PWK's around.

 

The main internal body of a keihin CAN be changed out with another. You have to have the internal body from the same size and sytle carb, but it can be done. You just have to look around pretty hard to find someone who sells the internal bodies, as most retailers won't sell you just the part you need without selling you the entire carb. Just keep in mind that a PWK Airstryker does not use the same internal body as a normal PWK. They look the same, but have different holes drilled in them. You need to have a star bit with the center hole to remove the specialty screw that holds the internal body in place in a PWK.

Try and snag a set of mikuni carbs. They have changeable dump tubes...
