XS Friends,
Yesterday, I picked up a couple sets of carbs from the local junkyard. One set was in pretty horrible condition ('78) but included the aluminum caps I prefer. Unfortunately, 3 of 4 carbs were CRAP with broken float posts etc..
This #4 carb is in nice/useable shape with solid posts. But it DOES absolutely need additional cleaning! All the jets are out without damage. You can see I needed an easy-out to get the pilot jet out but NO damage was done to the carb. This should be considered a '78 BODY only even though there are still a couple tid-bits on it (enricher, mixture screw, etc.).
ALL the diaphragms look REALLY nice. Honestly, they look a heck of a lot nicer than any in my bikes. I wouldn't hesitate a minute to put these in any of my bikes. BUT, they won't fit the later model carbs. These are 28mm slides specific to the older carbs. I'm NOT sure if the '79 uses this size, These are from a '78! I would prefer to sell these as a full set.
There are a couple other misc. bits here including an OCTY that are usable but also will not fit my '80 or '81 bikes. I'm not sure if the OCTY has a good diaphragm or not.....
FYI... I'm not normally a seller of parts but I would like to defray a little of the $$$ I spent yesterday and possibly help someone here rather than on Evil-Bay. I am familiar with what people are getting for these parts but don't want/need that level of $$$ but please don't insult me either.
Make me an offer that's a good deal for you and for me.....
Sincerely,
KURT
ALL OF THESE PARTS NEED A MORE THOROUGH CLEANING TO BE READY FOR USE!!!!
