Bike Carbs

Hi all,

Has been a while since I have posted due to my ever increasing kitcar fix which has resulted in me spend every hour of everyday searching the world for parts!

I know this probably has been covered thousands of times!

I am currently looking into fitting bike carbs to my 1.6 zetec and was wondering which model of bike would be best to source this (i.e GSXR)?

Hi i have a pinto and i have zx9r carbs fitted but you could use r1 too if you do a search you will find lots of info about them

ive got ZX6 carbs on my tuned 1600cvh which at 38mm would think would be fine on a 1600zetec also come fitted with a throttle position pot on the end for of the butterflys for any electronic ignition system, think may be some pictures in my archive

Here's my experience so far, using Honda CBR600 carbs and a home-made manifold.

Still an unfinished project as I'm currently sorting out the tuning. Once the weather improves I'll get back to it.

I can say even now that they are better than my old Weber DGV down-draft carb - tick-over is ultra-reliable and at a far lower rpm: unpredictable 1000+ rpm with the weber, rock-steady 750 rpm with the bike carbs. Also I no longer get a stink of petrol after stopping the engine (something to do with the weber sitting on a hot manifold, I think).
