Question noone has asked
« on: November 19, 2007, 06:42:29 PM »
Has anyone tried fitting the newer LOL 83-85 DOHC CB650 carbs to one of these older sohc motors? seems like it would be a vast improvement and maybe only require a jetting change? I have searched the threads a lot

I have an 82  CB650SC with the VB44C's on it. I dont trust them no matter how clean they are. I had an 83 with the piston slides and it ran great.

If your talking Kei Hin carb's, the only issue I would see is clearance with the bottom of the tank.  But my luck with those carbs might not be as good as yours...  If those vaccume pistons get gummed up, or worse, corroded and pitted from ethanol fuels they can be a bit@#.
