Topic: Need Carb rack Dims for 77-78k 750

[Elan]

Can anyone help me out with this? I need the below dims.  The earlier K's have (A) 37.5mm, (B) 38.5mm, (C) 43.5mm.

I suspect the 77/78k's have 3mm less distance on Dim C, but need to confirm. And if you can measure the outlet OD of a 77-78k carb that would be a bonus!!

As for the head intake spigots, it appears they did'nt change from early k's to late k's huh?

Working on bringing back the 77-78k insulators, so its for the greater good! 

Thanks!

A: 41.9 mm
B: 34 mm
C: 39 mm

Elan KO. Intake spigots are a different length, shorter I think..

ok cool. Im using a mystery head for mockups- I dont know what year its from, but its definately not a KO. Its wierd, where there's usually the model stamp, theres just a "3". The 77-78k insulators fit nicely on it. Just needed to confirm spacing.

interesting.  nice to know this vast difference after i installed my 76 F carbs and rubbers on a 78 F head with no issues whatsoever.

If you look from side of head into the fins and see three oblong bars, the head is 73 and up.

I have a K7 motor sitting under a bench, with the carbs already removed. If you need any measurements of the spigots, like length or spacing let me know.

Thanks Scottly! I might take you up on that, just to make sure im working with the right head...

Hey Scottly,

WHen you get a sec, can you see if you have the same dims? Its measured from the inner edge.

Thanks!

I'll check tomorrow. You do already have a set of K7/8 insulators to work from, correct?
