Similar, but not the same. The GL1000 carbs are basically the same body but with different float bowls, without the economiser valves. Similarly the Mugen quads are the same body but also don't have the economiser valves (whatever an economiser valve actually does ).

Those are the same carbs as on a GL1000 Honda motorcycle, though the jetting IS vastly different...you might have better luck hunting the parts as pictured from the Motorcycle angle as the RS carbs were never imported Stateside in Honda Automobiles.

I've been lucky to find a set of RS Keihins and manifold last week.

The carb on the right is missing the economiser valve kit which is a spring, diaphragm and the cover - see the picture below. I also want a accelerator kit as the one installed has a bodgey diaphragm and plunger.

Can any of you guys help with these bits or direct me to a supplier?






thanks Jim
