    1100g engine in a trike

    I have a trike fitted with an engine from an 1100g

    It hasn't run for a while and the carbs are beyond repair I think.

    Problem is, I don't know which model the engine originally came from and I'm have trouble finding another set of carbs that fit. All I know is the bike was a mid-80's 1100g.

    Can anyone tell me how I can find out the spec of my carbs or let me know what alternative carbs I could use?

    Thanks in advance :-P

    They should be BS34SS 34 mm Mikuni carbs. I have a manual for this so PM me if you need any more info.

    Why do you think they're beyond repair? You might want to read up on the carb clean up series here and you can get new orings from someone here on the forum. I'm sure someone will chime in on the web link for that. If you get used carbs, you're likely in for a cleanup, anyway!

    Best wishes on the project!

      Unless they've been melted in a fire, you can likely rebuild the carbs. Some truly appalling messes have been turned into gleaming showpieces using the instructions in the Carb Cleanup Series.

        I wanna see a shaftie trike, upload a picture. Im building a 550 trike but chain drive. Look into carb rebuild kits for it, buying another set off carbs doesnt always work, they might be gummed up as bad as yours.
