Wincycle carburator kits

[shierh]

Found on ebay, their kit is very complete and inexpensive. anyone here have any experience with them?

They have almost 7000 positive feedbacks and 15 negative.

Haven't bought from them but looks reasonable, better would be a kit with the cutoff diaphragms.. Dont think I would pay 95 for a kit without if I needed them.. Rather pay 139-149 for a kit with the cut off diaphragms even if I didn't need them I would be buying them cheap enough to use in the future, would rather have those then the floats..

Do the original floats have a high instance of failure?

They do but rarely, they aren't hollow it is that charcoal like material solid substance, never had one fail but have been told they get saturated and can fail. You can buy a full set of good used floats way cheaper then you can find new diaphragms.

I missed the air cut off valves not being included. See no need for floats. Well i did order the stuff. may have to send back and order the set with all the air valves.


I did however solve a minor mystery. When i first got this bike i posted a thread about a mystery nipple on the bottom of one of the carburators. Turns out this bowl is off of a cbx. it has an overflow tube inside of it and it drains out the bottom. I may simply fill the nipple with jb weld or but a bowl from ebay.

Got them yesterday and they included the air cut off valves. Here is the issue.
None of the valves fit, brass nipple is too large.
Missing multiple o rings in the kits,

Kits have multiple other o rings that do not belong to this build.

The needle valve does look good as do all other brass components, though most will never be needed.

Basically the kit is a waste of money. I emailed the seller, Wincycles and am holding for a response.

They were great, full refund eventhough i used some of the kit. THey said never had issue before. Stated they just got new shipment from supplier and likely there is an issue. Anyhow I just ordered Randakk's kit.
