XR-200 carbs run satisfactorily.

Post by kfsrq » Wed Mar 18, 2015 9:56 pm

I confirm (confess?) that I am still using XR-200 carbs on my CB-77.
I have proper carbs, but am short of time to prepare and install them;
I would rather ride than repair, but will eventually get the right carbs on.

I do not know if one carb would adequately serve a CA-77,
but it might make the motorcycle run, an important achievement.

These carbs let my Super Hawk go as fast as I want it to go, about 80 indicated.

I have a small shim under the tank to prevent the tank from touching the left carb.

It's a nuisance to adjust the two chokes individually, but occasionally I am glad
I can run one at full choke and the other at half choke for starting on chilly days.

Good luck!

The old spacers don't line up with the carbs, giving me a pretty good vaccum leak and a 4k idle. How did you get yours to work? any tips would be appreciated.

I just installed these (XR200 carbs) on my CB77 and they bolt up with no problems. Took them out of the box and the bike runs better than ever. Paid $35 for both. At the price I was skeptical. No tuning necessary.
Make sure that when you install these or the stock carbs to be sure and have the o rings in place. They are on the insulators and the carbs.

OK, maybe not out of the box ready. I went for a Danger ride and ended up going to 145 main jets and the clip at the bottom setting on the needles. Runs like never ever before.
