yama-dude Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 What is the difference between these carbs? I thought mikuni made keihns,.. Are keihns better? The mikunis are flat slides and the keihns anre pwks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 ford or chevy? that's about the same question. Everybody has a preference. My preference is Keihens. I just like the pwk carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die_infidel Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Like mentioned either one will do. Whatever brand you had the best luck with i guess get. I know the flat slides have a better flow without the round slide distrubance. On the shee i dunno if that will matter, but when i do sleds the flatslides flow better compared to round slides.

MotulMonsta Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 PWK's are D-shaped slide. Work damn good. But if it comes down to the wire, look at other things like adjustment locations and jet access. PWK Kehins have a plug on the bottom of the bowl that make jet changes a breeze, but mine, the idle screw for the left carb is burried between the carbs and the r/s carb air screw is burried as well. Makes it a pain to adjust. I don'tt know much about the mikuni's except they run diffrent jet style then the kehins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 ford or chevy? Exactly, I have had both. I like how the keihns are built, but I think the mikunis dialed in easier out of the box for my setup. Some I have talked to have said the keihns dialed in better. Every motor is different. Whatever you choose you'll get it dialed in eventually. The keihns do have easier access to main jets and the needles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minkia38 Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 exactly! get whatever you want, especially if you already have a bunch of jets lying around from other carbs :flame: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 The idle and air screw for the right carb is also buried in the middle on the Mikuni's too.I went from stockers to the 28mm flat slide Mikuni's ,and think it was one of the best things I've done.

Yaxy Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I have only had expereince with the Mikuni's and I do like them. One of the biggest benefits in my opinion is cost. I paid $190 for 2 new 28 flatslides where I think the Keihns are in the $300 range. I have never seen the way a keihn is built but I have heard the Mikun's have a bit more adjustement via the needle jet. But for most people this is left alone anyway.
