BS40 Carb Choke Plungers

Post by RING_DING »

Does anyone know if any of the choke plungers on MikesXS website would fit the BS40?

TZ375, I recall you had some BS38 carbs apart some time ago. Are the choke plungers the same as on the BS40?

I was hoping you wouldn't ask that because I can't remember. OK so only half joking. From what I remember and from the photos I took, they appear to be the same part.

They were a pair from an XS650.

And a follow-up question - those viton tipped float needles (Mike's part number 48-5014) - think they would fit any of the Suzuki carbs ?

I found these on eBay, and considering the price of a single choke plunger from MikesXS ($9), I took a chance and got them:

Turns out they are SUDCO kits (P/N 025-426), but the contents are in a Keyster bag.
Main jet = 110
Pilot jet = 47.5
Needle = Y48 (?)
The float valve spring feels a lot stronger than the originals.

I'd be interested if anyone has used these and what the verdict is.
