RD500 carb bodies / pilot air jets

#1 Post by torp68 » Wed Jul 12, 2017 6:30 am

Are there more than one version of the carb bodies on RD/RZ/RZV..?
I have this "issue" with the Pilot Air Jets (in the venturies) seating in slightly different depth. A couple of them goes so far in they are "countersunk", one is flush while the last one sticks out a bit. All Air Jets are new and identical (std Mikuni), and same length as the old ones (7,5 mm). Three of the bodies are relatively unused, while the last one has unknown history.
Only been doing heat cycles so far. The bike does run with them; just wondering what the cause might be..? Are there more than one type of carb body for the RD500? :???:
