GTR 1000 Carburettor Floats

Thanx mate. She runs okay. Just sluggish on pull off requiring added throttle. And when you gear back and then accelerate she lags for a second as if starving of fuel. Or maybe she is getting too much oxygen. Otherwise no complaints. Oh and yes. She is much noisier than my former bike. 😎

Just to let you guys know. I did a search and it seems that the carbs I have on my Connie actually seem to come from the Honda Nighthawk 700/750. So at the end of the day I am never going to get them to run a 1000cc engine. But I am just going to have to live with it for awhile until I can source and afford the original carbs.  Thanx for all your help guys. Your input was priceless. Well done......!

I don't know how easy it is for you to get carbs in SA but used ones are quite common here and not very expensive.

If you want to buy a set I recommend posting a want to buy post here and seeing if anyone has a set they would sell.

You can get them directly from ebay too. carbs are such a bitch even for bikes with the OEM ones, your bike will never run properly w/o the right set.

Buying used carbs can be a real gamble too... It is like a box of chocolates... you never know what your going to get.
I would probably try and buy them from the USA ebay or forum  and have them shipped directly  to Sunny Steve to have them checked out , re jetted/rebuilt before  having them shipped to SA. (Along with a new air box and filter and the rubber parts needed to hook the carbs to the air box and the engine)
