Title: KLR 600/650 carb for GN 400
Post by: Smithy on July 17, 2013, 09:54:19 AM

Hi again

I have been able to run my project GN400 a little bit more and it is running reasonably at bottom and mid-range but is asking for more fuel at the top end.

Johnr you suggested a KLR 650 carb (I am assuming the KLR 600 carb is the same as it is the same size but a lot cheaper on ebay). Is this a straight swap or does the inlet manifold need changing as well to 40mm from 36mm?

I like the idea of a fast special so any help would be gratefully received.
