Swapping Mikuni Carbs on Spitfires?

Post by just_some_dude »

So, can you pretty much swap out and Mikuni carb (butterfly or slide) on any of the Spitfire sleds? Also, can you space between Kohler and Kawasaki? Anything that needs to happen for them to work, or is it pretty much a plug and play kind of thing?

To swap the carbs you will need new choke and throttle cables. I believe that you also need all new carb boots.
