In my RD350 parts pile I got 1 Keihin PWK carb, it measures 28.95 mm ID on the engine end of carb. I would like another carb. Serial #G643 AEDM. Could you RD guys fill me in on which carb this is (28 or29) and where I can buy one.

Thank you, in advance!!

I deleted the head gaskets on my and actually a number of other triples. I ended up using copper gasket sealing spray, first as a stop gap method to test the bike and ended up never doing anything more or having a leak, including Kawasaki H2-750s, which are notorious leakers.

I modified the combustion chambers to get the correct squish and head volume, I used a compression gauge to find the right amount and then CC'd the heads to match them up.

A hugely successful mod. Yes, just copper gasket spray.

I'm new here and I'd like some information on long rod kits.

I bought an RD350 project and the previous owner had bought a long rod set-up for the crank and he bought Wiseco pistons specifically for the long rods.

The big end pins have no offset to lengthen the stroke.

What do you think of the set-up? Is it worth putting the long rods in (and special pistons) just to change the leverage the pistons have on the crank?

Could someone who has done this exact mod enlighten me on the problems and results?

I have some unknown chambers that have a large belly and some sorts of flat slide carbs. I need to look into it further..

Some from the triples boards know me, to others, here are a few of my bikes.
