Title: Mystery Mikuni carb
Post by: Del649 on March 07, 2019, 03:42:54 PM

Hi, i am new to this forum and was hoping someone could help me identify this carb i have.
I believe its from the sixties, it is a Mikuni, but what is unusual is the choke mechanism it has, most mics i have seen have the overfuel type choke, whereas this has the Keihin type air choke, any ides?

Many thanks in advance

Del

Some more pictures of other sides would be helpful.

I think it look like an early 1960's Honda stepthrough carb, like a C50 or similar.

I have looked on the cmsl site and cannot see any similarity, but im sure Honda only used Keihin unless someone knows otherwise.
