griffiths of wales Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I would be interested to know what make and model of carburetor may work for my Seeley 200...the bike is currently fitted with a Keihin PC40C and doesn't run well...think its worn and tried in vain to get spares...help Cheers, Mark.

stuhrc Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Mark, tried to reply to your Email, but your address is not recognised (MAILBOX NOT FOUND)......... Anyway, to answer your question: The carb on my bike is a Keihin PC 04 BRK..........Pilot Jet - 38. Main Jet - 105. Needle - 8234, clip in the middle position. Air screw out 2 and three-quarter turns. With regards finding one, I have absolutely no idea!! You could try Keihin Europe Ltd.(Craven House, 40 Uxbridge Road, London W5, 2BS, U.K. Tel : +44 (0)20 8810 1266 FAX : +44 (0)20 8810 1277) A lot of engine parts are readily available due to being based on XL185, though Piston & rings can be got from Wiseco UK (Vic Eastwood), Gaskets Galore made me head gaskets, though they need an original to work from. Hope this helps, anything else I can do, let me know. Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiths of wales Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Absolutely brilliant Stu, I have the same needle in mine but the clip is on the 2nd groove from the sharp end. Just got my carb back from Allen's ' can't help you with that Sir' Performance R & D and noticed (should have done before I sent it) that the face that clamps to the head manifold is very badly bent (concave) and must be letting in loads of air, just got the faced milled. Also found that the plug fitted is definately not the recommended brand or type and is pretty well sooted up, I'm going to get an NGK asap. I'm going to give it a whirl again tonight. Thanks again for the info, much appreciated. Best regards, Mark. PS Just updated my profile (email etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 If you end up needing another carb, Ellastone off-road in Staffordshire have brought a few Honda RS200 bikes and RS200TE engines in from Japan over the years, so may have some carbs there. Don't know their number offhand but they have an ad each week in spares section of TMX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiths of wales Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Refitted the carb after milling the face as described and the engine idles and revs out much better. There is a noticeable 'ticking' from the top of the cylinder head, not sure if its a trait of this engine or wear in the camshaft area. Making a new sump guard, lighter back brake lever, replacing old fixings and its off to the mountains...Cheers lads Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
