Post by: Hillger on March 17, 2014, 04:08:43 PM
I am having a heck of a time finding a carb for a 89kx 500 does anyone know if there are any other years that would work for the 89?

Atleast help on finding one or parts for one would be great as well.

all kx500 carbs from 89-2004 would work perfectly... stock carb is the keihin pwk 39... but you can also try to get a pwk 41 .that will add more top power for offroad or desert , but it needs a little bit bigger jets,because of the much higher airflow...

you could look on ebay or directly at the keihin websites  (google search will help to find some )

some guys also use lectron-carbs or the smart-carb ...  youll see, you have some options...  :-)

I've dealt with guys a few times in the last couple years....and have no complaints, if you search around, there's a lot of other good companies as well.
