carb rebuild kit now parts list

[Cindy & Wayne Burner]

I just replaced the slide and plunger on my 1986 klr 600. The peoples dat know, on this list, told me that the carbs used on the American made HD twins, are the same. I had no problem sliding the parts from the big twin, right into the carb on the Kawaker. This is a $40.00 retail item for the Harleys, but alot more for the Kawasaki. I am not sure if the jets and gaskets are the same, but it would be interesting to know. I will ask the guys down at my friendly area shop, to see if those parts came from Parts Unlimited Custom Chrome, or direct from HD. Wayne(rice)Burner very wet in NH
