Title: Which Carbs? CB550K3
Post by: hunterso on October 08, 2013, 06:26:04 PM

Hi

I need to rebuild my carbs (PD46A) and after looking around it seems parts are more widely available for the 069A type carb.

Is there any preference over which carbs are best.

If mine are going to be a pain to sort i may consider fitting the 069A carbs

Is this ok?
Any issues i may run in to?

Should i keep my PD46 Carbs?

Im not bothered at all about originality as my bike has been chopped about quite a lot - just want the best running carbs fitted

Any advice would be great

Thanks

Old style Kei-hins like the 069A are easier to work on. If your K3 is already modified (airfilter, exhaust) I see no objection.
