opdeweegh1 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hi there. Anyone got any experiences to share in installing a keihin PWK 28 carb to an 03 300 pro. Looking for do's and dont's etc, best jetting options, good or bad experiences before I commit to spending the cash. Cheers. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard wallace Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Fitted heaps to Sherco`s, run 112 main 42 pilot JJH needle and 19 mm float height. Need a carb to airbox adaptor, multi diameter car radiator hoses fit neat. Highly recommend you spend the dollars,best value improvement I`ve ever put on a bike. Check out all the factory bikes, know what they`re running !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jools Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Buy one off GasgasUK because it come correctly jetted from the factory with a 122 main 45 Pilot & jjh needle. Recommend though that you upgrade to a 48 pilot as it is too weak at the bottom end with standard 45!! You are lucky owning an '03 that your Inlet is larger than the '04 and the keihin fits properly unlike with the 04/05 where it is too small and rips. You need a different throttle cable for the carb Also you need a reed space to bring the whole reed block and inlet closer to the carb as the Keihin is smaller. To do the conversion properly will probably cost you approaching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kehin Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Allens did'nt have left hand control carbs, so bought from gas gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opdeweegh1 Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Thanks for all the replies and info thats great. Already made my mind up and going to buy one. Will let you all know the results later. Jools can you buy the reed block spacer or do I manufacture my own? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jools Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Yeah they sell them at gasgasuk. cant remember exactly how much they were though - The right side of a tenner also ith this spacer you need a couple of gaskets otherwise you will get air leeks. Speak to Andy Hipwell at gas gas, he is extremly helpful and will tell you everything you need to know. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtt Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 The spacer is available direct from GasGas, or you can make one yourself from a small bit of plate (although not worth the trouble as they are cheap to buy), or you can make/buy a spigot adaptor like this...
