1982 KDX175 - A3 Carb Swap
Posted: 03:30 pm Apr 29 2020
Hello, I am new to the site and have searched and read a number of threads about KDX175 Carb issues.
My bike is an 82 KDX 175 - A3 with a VM34SS Mikuni Carb. I have cracked the carb body and am trying to find a replacement. Currently I can only find 80-81 175 Carbs on eBay that look slightly different than mine.
My question, would it be possible to use a carb from a different year, ie a 81 on an 82 with some jetting change? Any chance anyone knows of someone who is parting out an 82 KDX175.
Any help would be great, it is a shame not to be riding it!
Thanks,
