Topic: New brass for carburetors

[MauiK3]

I just took a look at Yamiya’s web site for carb parts. They list a lot of brass parts like jets, needles, etc. and they are described as manufactured by Honda. They also have Yamiya manufactured brass.
I wonder if the parts are accurate and properly made, I didn’t know Honda still made this stuff.
Interesting.

Yes, the Honda carb parts from Yamiya are absolutely spot on, they are Keihin parts.
The Yamiya brand ones are aftermarket and I haven't used those so can't comment.
Honda own a large share of the Keihin company.

You can still order most jets at your Honda dealer too

Honda own a large share of the Keihin company.

Yes, approx 40% but their parent company is Hitachi.

And a bit of trivia:  The name Keihin loosely translates to "seashore"
