K and F carbs
« on: June 16, 2008, 05:08:17 PM »
i did a search and came up with some replies but not as pertains to carbs. will a '75F carb work on a '75K bike? or the good deal i got on a set of carbs not such a good deal after all ???

It would seem so.  I just recently discovered that the carbs on my 1970 K0 are actually from a 1975 F.  (casting 064A)

You should re-jet the carbs to the appropriate settings for your engine (check the tech library for specs).

I believe the only difference is the jets.
