Carb options

Hi all. I just started working on a Maxim 750 I got for free a couple years ago. The starter clutch is gone out of it ( but that's another topic). As i was taking the engine out of the frame I happen to notice one of the carbs is locked up. Rather than take them apart, are there any other carbs that would slip on these bikes? Thanks ya'll

 

I wondered that myself when I first bought my bike. It sat for 4 years in a shed with gas in the carbs, so they were pretty much toast inside and not rebuildable at all. The posts for the floats were actually rotted off.
I ended up buying a set from a salvage yard that were clean and like new. I lucked out and installed them when I got home and it fired right up and ran just about perfect.
I believe the 750 and 650 carbs are about the same, just jetted different.

 

Three months and this is all the response I get. WOW!! Come on fellas. Who has different carbs on their 750 Maxim? For example, I am big into 4 wheelers and I run the two outside carbs off of a Honda CBR600 on my modified KFX700. Lets hear what ya'll got.

 

When it comes to the carbs, the advise here tends to be heavily towards "run it stock" with some side discussions about pods, exhaust, and jetting. A few people have kicked around the idea of a single carb and home-made manifold.

One guy made a fuel injection set-up that actually worked.

 

any carbs could be made to work but finding a rack to fit is the problem
the OD of the throat could be fudged a little but the centers of the bores would need to be pretty close, that's not in the shop manuals
so all you could do is walk around a bone yard with a tape and get lucky

 

I am working on a single carb (mikuni 36 vm) conversion... I will post once I have completed the build.
