    Keyster carb kits

    anyone ever used these rebuild kits?
    yes i know its an aftermarket rebuild kit so don't start shouting at me.......

    it is for a SOHC 750 Honda, not mine. the guy wants a complete rebuild of the carbs and some parts are unobtanium or obtanium at an extortionate price.

    i will rebuild using the reasonably priced OEM parts plus the other bits from the rebuild kit.

    i know you all hate K&L kits on our GS's, although i have had no problems with mine. i have not used Keyster kits and wonder if maybe they might have a better reputation than the K&L kits.

    thankyou

    I have used them a few times. I rebuilt my buddy's 69 Honda CL350 with these kits, and it runs great. I have also used them on another bike and they were crap. Something I found later is that Keyster has 2 types of kits for some bikes. The orange box is the standard kit, the blue box is a premium kit with more parts in them like the needle jet. I rebuilt my buddy's 350 with the premium kits. Where ever you get your kits from, see if you can get the premium kits. Good luck, Mark

      Agemax, I used them to rebuild my carbs recently and very impressed with the quality, got them from NRP, cost £20 per carb

      NRP specialise in carburettor diaphragms, air cut-off valves [or coaster enrichment valves] carburettor overhaul kits and spares for all Japanese carbs.
