RD350LC Carb choice

#1 Post by AZRD350LCGUY » Sun Apr 17, 2022 9:27 pm

I would like to replace the carb from my 1982 RD350LC . What would you recommend and why.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You could use RD400 28mm for more power at the top

Keihin 28 PWKS.. Period.
FAR more capable designs than Mikunis. Very good... smooth midrange power as well as top end.
Hell.. they are an Eye opener after trying to live with geriatric and too often worn right out Mikunis.
Dead easy to jet.. as bonus .
Buy New ones though ...not worth the aggro to deal with someones' cast offs .

It really depends on your engine spec. If you have no major engine upgrades larger carburetors could be more trouble than they are worth, and by that I mean if you do not have the engine and exhaust mods to support larger carburetors you may find things get worse, not better. You may get more performance at high RPM, but low RPM performance may be unsatisfactory.

RD350 or 400 carbs. modify to suite. fits the standard airbox and manifolds with a squeeze. works great. dyno proven
