PWK Replacement carby

Hi All,

Just wondering if any of you have tried the PWK carby at all ?

Any knowledge about them would be appreciated

The ebay number was 320230891626, it is not for a 32mm but when I emailed the seller asking whether or not he had a single manifold & carby setup for an 850 commando he replied via email that he had them for US $168.00 plus shipping costs.

The PWK is a much more technically advanced design than the Mikuni VM round slide, and decades ahead of any Amal design including the Concentric Mk II. This is not a “knock-off”, but a...

All this sounds real familiar.

They are decent carbs, but you've got the spec the application for the jetting, and the return springs were weak in the first batches. Supposedly, they have much better springs now.

Yes it is a Norton
