Carbs wanted

[Guest]

Looking for carbs for a 650 katana. I kind of ruined mine trying to remove a stuck mixture screw. Any help would be great.

Kind of ruined? How about a pic for us to admire?
And you are located in land down under?

Sorry tom but no photos this time as it's a little embarrassing. I got an easy out to remove the screw but broke it off. I then ruined where the screw goes in. It just broke away on me. Going to be a costly stuff up this time. Not many of these carbs getting around in Aussie land.

I've broken a few easy outs myself- they're just too brittle, a quality left hand drill bit is more likely to work. The BS32 carb body is used on lots of models (see attached chart) - with different jets and rack spacing, so you might find a replacement.

Coontaboy, the entire basis of this forum is from people who did things wrong. That's why someone will probably have worked out a fix. Don't worry about being embarrassed, we've all been there in some form or another. Knowledge comes from experience and experience comes from mistakes

Plus, there's a Parts Wanted forum lower down
