I run it with a pwk 39

Crazy I was just getting on here to post that idea lol

MX455:
Hey guys thanks for all the info. I think I'm going to look into updating the carb with the pwk 39. What are the benefits of the newer carb, other than that fact it'll be easier to get parts.  Update...... I've been told to run a pwk 38 by a local guy that says the 39 drains gas and the the 38 will run much better. True or untrue? I'm skeptical because he has a 38, but I could get it for $40. Is it an option?? Thanks again

DoldGuy:
455,
Check to see what jets & slide # is in there, as you can have the 38 bored to a 39 or 41.5 if you want, but it may be cheaper in the long run to find one with proper jets/slide already in there. The 38 should add a little more bottom with less top if that is what you want (do you really need more bottom? :oops:)
Hope this helps

87 uses the new style frame but old style subframe.  The angle of the old boot is different.  I  junked the air cleaner assemble on mine and went to a sock.  Them old ones are getting hard to find parst for. Yes I thought about buying one off of ebay, figured I'd be buying another junk one.
