Makuni twin carbs


Recommended Posts

I have a set of Makuni carbs and manifold, I have measured the ID of the barrel and it measured 48mm. they have been sitting on a shelve for over 5 years, but they ran good until I blew my motor, and didnt have the money to rebuilt a good motor at the time, so I never got to put them on again. Now its time to sell

 

Price: $700 shipped any where with in the 48 states, $650 picked up

located in San Diego

If you want the manifold it will cost you $700 and you get a free set of carbs, or you can buy the carbs for $700 and get the manifold for free

 

Either way, it's a win! Will that fit the A series motors?

the stamp on the valve is 165, but I also measured the other side of the barrel and it measures 40mm

 

This would bolt on with no problems to and L16, L18, L20.

 

They do have a symbol on the side but, they are Solex/Makuni carbs with the short Makuni manifold

So they might be 40s? The bore is measured at the manifold side, so you would need to remove the manifold to measure it.

 

Mikuni made licensed (some say improved) versions the famous Solex sidedraft carburetor out of France. They also made a ton of motorcyle carbs.

This is the more well known Type S5 carb. Now, once again, these came in both 40mm and 44mm versions but are best known in North America as the 44mm carb. This is also referred to as the 5 bolt top cover style of carb. Looking at the back of the butterfly will confirm size, 165 is a 40mm carb, 175 is a 44mm carb. Note that the kits will be the same for both 40 and 44mm carb. Simply specify Type S5 Carb. The S5 also has the external float adjuster around the fuel inlet pipe and uses a 10mm hex needle/seat.
