  • 1997 Katana 600 Carb kits...

    Does anyone know where and how much I can get carb kits for? I need to rebuild my carbs on a bike i just bought cause the jackass i just bought the bike from didn't take the gas out of it when he stored it for the winter... so it sat for 6 months. It runs like crap and is dieing on me. A buddy wants to help me rebuild the carbs and get it running like new but i gotta find a carb kit.

    I got mine at OldBikeBarn.com item#7300-100 @$18.95 each. This kit is listed as 90-95 but I think the 97 is the same, if it is not someone please correct me.

          The float needles do come with the kit, but it does not include the rubber stoppers.

            It's been a while since I bought a kit but if I remember right, that'd be the first kit for these carbs I've seen that comes with the needles. I haven't bought from OBB yet, though. If it does come with the needles then you're looking at $19 each for a $7 needle, $6 bowl gasket and $6 for the o-rings. Not terrible.

            Good call on the pilot jet plug. It's also a good idea to replace the fuel tube seals while you've got the carbs apart. They're usually fine and you can re-use them but for the $15 to replace all 4 it's cheap insurance against pulling the things apart again.

                  Any word on whether this is only for 90-95 models or if it will also fit the 96 and 97 models?

                          Honda Suzuki Kawasaki Yamaha OEM motorcycle atv and side by side parts with a full line of aftermarket accessories.

                          The place that says "SUZUKI" on the door. They sell motorcycles and what not.
