Hello All,
My name is Nick and this is my first motorcycle project. I pulled out my carbs to rebuild them when I ran into a problem. First of all these are carbs are off a 1978 XS400, the top is labeled “MIKUNI KOGYO CO.LTD JAPAN” (figure 1), the inside diameter measures 34mm and inside the float bowl is stamped “227” (figure 2). They look like other BS34’s (figure 3 and 4) so I originally assumed these where Mikuni BS34’s however, when I searched for a rebuild kit at mikesxs I noticed the float bowl gaskets that match my carb do not match the float bowl gaskets for a BS34 (figure 5 and 6). When I looked closer I noticed the BS38 rebuild kit gaskets looked much closer to mine than the BS34. This got me wondering what model carburetor is this and what rebuild kit is right for it, any help would be appreciated!
