Please update your profile with your location, site rules.

Take a look at Lightning Pro's turbo kit, it's a pull thru system using only one carb

thanx for the respose,i already have a mid mount Alpine g28 mid mount turbo.The carbs havent been off since 04,and the screws for the bowls are stripped,and did not want to come off.I was just looking for replacement carbs,perhaps cheaper than the mikuni,and perhaps a little more service friendly than the mikuni.
thanx again D

Use a wise grip plier tool to remove the screws. First place a screwdriver on top of the screws and tap it with a hammer gently to loosen the screws, then apply the wisegrip let it squeeze the screws quite hard and unscrew. Have worked for me every time.

Same system here. Replace all the screws with bolts once you get them out.

Rx1M5 - Good advice, what type of bolt do you prefer? I've had it changing out the philips screws every time I have the caps off.

Anything in a good grade is better than stock. You can probably find grade 10 in a socket head allen bolt we have them available around here.

Thanks

Next time I'll bring one of the stock carb screws with me to the hardware store to find a match.

I updated mine with allen head bolts from a local fastener supplier

 

[madsledder]

I used stainless allen head because they dony rust but cost a fortune

I bought some allen head screws and shipped a set to Freelheeler. I got them from Ace hardware. Here's the size you need; 4mm x 10mm with a 0.7 pitch thread.

I have the right ones (Allen head,length and pitch) made out of stainless steel if you need some.

I will trade them for your turbokit "leftovers" -

Just kidding - let me know and I will look for them in the garage. I can mail to you before you put your sled together.

TT - My carbs are already put together and installed in my sled, but I would like you to mail me a set as they will come to good use sometime this winter when tuning the carbs to perfection. Stock screws are junk! Turbo parts leftovers....I'm working on it, I'll get back to you when I have figured out pricing.
