warehouse32 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 i recently bought a 1975 xs500 and am currently working on the carbs but i cant find a rebuild kit for this model. are there any other carb kits from diff models that i can use interchangeably? and i also noticed that most of the rebuild kits don't come with external hardware...ie screws and washers...is there any place i can find these? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysnapper Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Try http://www.nrp-carbs.co.uk/ I bought a carb kit from them worked great. Didn't find ny one that did external bits thought. Best bet would be to buy a refurbished set, have seen a few on ebay. Think the c&d carbs should work fine they are better than the b models, but check the inlet fittings. Good luck, with the bike.

happysnapper Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Forgot to say, have a look at this site they do some external parts. http://enginescrewkit.free.fr/xs50076_78.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
