/2 carb configurations

Post by zweirader »

I purchased a /2 carb body listed as 1/24/26 but it's actually a 1/24/16 ( someone stamped a "2" over the "1") This carb body is for an R67 "not" an R67/3 for which i own. My question to everyone is....can this carb be used on my R67/3 or will it effect the performance since it's not the correct numbered carb for my R67/3. Personally i'd prefer the correct numbered carb body since i already have the other side carb...i need its mate. Anyone interested in a R67 carb body? Your comments highly appreciated

According to the Bing manual, the only difference between the -16 and the -26 is the main jet. The -16 has a 100 while the -26 has a 110. All other settings and jets are the same. I would think with the proper jet, the -16 could work very well.

If it's the same slide cutaway, then you should be fine as long as you match the jets and needle.

Hoping that some one can give me an idea on correct numbers for /2 carbs ???
I have several pairs on hand for my basket case rebuild.
Cheers to all.

The Bing manual has a page showing carb numbers and specs:
