Genuine or fake? Your thoughts?

(1/6) > >>

philward:
Just bought a Keyser carb kit for my 500k2 to try to cure mid range hesitancy (following recent post by Erny solving similar issue). Bought at £112 a set from Wilson Racing via eBay - bought from UK company at top of price range to try to avoid 'fakes'.
When they arrived they were in Keyser branded clear plastic bags but no Keyster branded cardboard boxes (as per previous kits I have bought)
How have members received packaged Keyster kits?
If I contact the seller and ask if they are not genuine, he is unlikely to say so!
I might just ask for a refund.
Thanks in advance
Phil

Don't know Ken. Used all original brass ware plus Julie's seal kit. Had new floats, quality float valves. Triple checked float heights. Bench synched and on vac guages.
As Erny highlighted his emulsion tubes were corroded and sorted his hesitancy issue by using Keyster kit, thought it was worth a try (had good results using Keyster kits on 750's)

Middle slot I think - got carbs off in readiness for receiving Keyster kit so will be confirming when I strip

philward:
Not got them out yet (strip down scheduled for tomorrow) but thought it best to replace then everything has been changed with quality parts based on Erny's experience. (Also, my 750k2 is on Keyster and has always run a treat).

I presume the K2 is still using 627B carbs?

The US model does apparently

Going to give the Keyster a try based on my previous experience and Erny's feedback - main issue is if they are genuine
