nc24, nc30 carb swap

Post by dave_c24 » Wed Jun 10, 2009 9:01 pm

hi,

has anyone tried fitting nc30 carbs to an nc24, the carb necks are the same diameter,only main differnces is the slides are aout 3mm shorter on the nc30 carbs and fuel pipe diameter from tank.

My mate has a good working spare set that his bike ran very well on and we wondered if it was worth a try?

cheers dave

Are you sure the inlets are the same distances apart?

I have had a set of 24 carbs in my mitts and don't reckon they would have fit onto my NC30

Give it a blast anyways and let us know if they go on...

They might do, theres not much difference between the carbs.

You could always if worst comes to worst mount them to the NC24 plate and use some linkages off the NC24 carbs etc.
