  • Do Downdraft and Side Draft Bike Carbs Fit?

    I have a custom intake manifold for my B1 with bike carb receivers, but I don't have a carb yet. I don't know if I should get Keihin 38mm downdrafts or 40mm Mikuni sidedraft carbs because I don't know which would fit in the tiny space at the back. I know some of you have done this. So I would like to know if you installed side or down draft carbs? Do they have advantages?

    You are very close to Australia. Why not get a set of KB Laser carbies? Read thread 21710 .

      That's cool. How did you do the throttle linkage?

      NVM... I've read it. Cool carbs.

        You could just use the stock throttle cable sleeve and replace the stock wire cable with a longer cable then swage some new ends on it. Ball on the pedal end + cylinder stop on throttle end. It's just the length that's important.
        I just used the stock 89 Festiva throttle bracket on a piece of aluminum that I bought at Metal Supermarket. Really simple, since it's just a single pull.
