Dear All, I have an original 1966 CB77, plus a bit of a mixture (C72 bottom end and CB77 head, in a CB77 frame - believe it to be 1963?). The Carbs on the original are Keihin PW26, but with the mixture they were PW22. Restoration on both bikes will start in a couple of months, but I will likely need some bits so that will be done in background from now.
I am sure that if I used the PW22's that they would at least need re-jetting, so I need to work out what to get. Have not been able to find replacement PW26's and was wondering if there was a Minkuni replacement.
Any comments/ suggestions appreciated. Arthur

Ok Gents, I have worked out how to add my location within my profile. I maybe should have changed the Occupation to "Retired" which also probably reflects my knowledge (or lack of) for newer technology! (not even sure how to add smilies!)
Cheers, Arthur

Not sure of the availability in Aus, but it may be easier to look for Mk1 Amal Concentrics. If You look at Vince Lupo's Japan Meets Britain thread you will see he is running 626 Concentrics on his CB77.
