New Member Introductions / Frame 4286 w/K1 Motor

« on: March 02, 2013, 08:24:31 pm »

I found one. It's a mid-number sandcast, and it's been off the road 15 years. Unfortunately it has a K1 motor $:-\$ so I'm on the hunt for a 4xxx sandcast motor, or cases. It's a running bike, and I paid a fair price for it.

I have a great set of 4-cable carbs, a gold/black stripe tank, and a set of HM300's off my K6. I'll probably use the Corbin until I find a nice ducktail seat.

(The K6)

Is there a place for project threads on this forum?

Thanks Guys!

I'd like to add one bit of info after hearing back from my friend Bill, who bought them from another racer years ago...These came off a fully built race bike that blew an aluminum rod out of a sandcast case. That seems to mesh with the 'taken apart 'n marked' theory.

Thanks again!

Thank you gentlemen! I'm happy to hear they're not too special to use

I haven't and I'm no expert but I'll take a stab at an explanation.

If you look at the stamps themselves they are the same on both components. Even the strike force (depth) is similar. That tells me the same person did all of them. What that also suggests to me is perhaps at one time, someone took the assembly apart and figured to be safe they had better mark the carb's and stay plate so as to get everything back in the right spot. Just a wild guess on my part.

Thanks for your input Wayne. I'm asking the previous owner of the set if it was his sandcast they came from, and if he remembers marking them at any point.

Nobody has seen these markings on the carb bodies and bracket?

Hi Guys,

I have three sets of 4-cable carburetors, and one of the sets (confirmed to be from a sandcast) has the cylinder numbers cast into both the carburetor bodies, and the mounting bracket. My question is: Was this standard up to a certain VIN? I searched here but didn't find anything. Not looking to sell, just looking for information.
