81 or 82 cb650 carbs
« on: August 23, 2019, 02:48:23 PM »
My 1980 cb650c had an engine swap some years ago.  They put an 81 engine in it, and could never get it running correctly.  Little did they know the carb spacing is different.  So im here looking for a rack of cv style carbs.  Let me know what ya'll have for sale !

Thanks,
Grant

Actually 81-82 had the same head spacing and used the CV style VB44 carbs. VB44A for the 81 and VB44C for the 82. The 79-80 had traditional slide PD carbs and were a different spacing.

Might help on your quest.

That's correct.  I'm looking for an 81 or 82 CV style rack of carbs, for my 1981 engine, that the previous owner put into a 1980 frame. Lol

They used the original PD carbs from 1980, and tried fitting them up to the 81 motor.
