I need some input on this . I have a '72 SL350 K3 with a '71 Cb350 engine installed . As this bike hasn't been started for over twenty years ( I now know the engine needs a top end and at least new bearings and seals ) , I'm wondering if it's easier in my case to repair or replace the Klein's or replace with Mikuni's . so far I've found the tops are probably too rusty to be re chromed , and 6 screws now have eigther stripped or broken off completely . this bike had a mongrel from idle to around 4000 RPM . The bike would rev fine in the shed but once out on the road under 4000 RPM ( also taking off at traffic lights ) when you opened the throttle more that 1/3 , that the bike acted you just ''hit the kill switch'' . Above 4000 RPM ,
this bike revved cleanly to the rev limit with no problem . I don't to know what's inside , with my luck I'm going to have to buy 2 each diaphragms , 2 carb tops ( assuming I get them ) and comprehensive carb and screw kits which will cost me a bit over $500 by the time it's imported to Queensland , Australia .
On the over hand , i can get a twin 32mm Mikuni kit complete with made up throttle cable , air cleaners , adapters and the advantage that I know how to tune them .
I need to know how easy it is fix the original CB carbs before I decide on anything .
