Carburetor overhaul kits
As part of my ongoing thing about my missfire/ Pre ignition at high revs I am thinking that I might need to replace my needle jet ect and ultra sonic my carbs, the previous owner said he fitted a set of keyster kits, but I cant take this as gospel as he also told me the crank had been done and it was bent,Ive heard that these are not the best. I read that you cant get the 5DJ19 needles any more , is there another needle that works and what type of kit would work , there seems to be a lot of cheap ones from cruisin image ect.Anyone had success with anything my bike is an H1B.

Re: Carburetor overhaul kits
The only kit worth using is an Ivan's jet kit.
Contact SG Motorsport they are the UK importer.

NOTE, The instructions with the kit is only a guide,you will need to play around with the settings to get the best from
the kit.(every bike is different ).

Re: Carburetor overhaul kits
Thanks for the help boys, Mark is going to help me out with the standard parts, as it would appear that I have an issue with my float heights, I am at the moment more interested in getting my bike running properly without cutting out, once I resolve that I dont think I am going to benefit too much with one of Ivans kits as I am not racing the bike,just looking to get it going properly, also I will get some jets from Motocarb to make sure that I have genuine ones in the bike, as the pattern ones may not be accurately machined.

Re: Carburetor overhaul kits
please do not be offended, but, do not dismiss Ivans kits, they are not for racing, but to improve the running over the standard needles and jets, a lot of time and effort went into development of these kits, and they work, removing surging, improving performance over standard, and fuel consumption. I notice that this advice has been given on a few posts regarding your problem, kyster is crap, standard is good until worn out, and Ivans kit are the best replacement over standard. not a lot of point asking for advice, then ignoring it

Re: Carburetor overhaul kits
Fair enough I will attempt to get rid of my cutting out problem first , then as part of my ongoing ownership of a triple I may fit one of these kits as an upgrade next year ,rather than trying to use it to fix the problem I wont take offence as I always value your opinion Andrew, thanks again for taking the time .

Re: Carburetor overhaul kits
I've ordered genuine jets from Steve at Motocarb , so hopefully I will get my cutting out sorted, but on another note Ive been reading quite a few good reviews about Ivan's jet kits, so if I cure the bike when I get home I may invest in a set for the Spring.
