i got this 17mm bing carb off an old magnum, wanted to throw it on another bike i'm putting together. the needle looks really bad but its longer than a regular bing needle. just wondering if anyone knows what parts are interchangeable or specific to the 17mm carb. tanks mon.

Re: 17mm bing parts
i don't think anything on the top of the carb is interchangeable with the smaller bings. i was just messing with one recently and sizing it up with my 14 and the spring, needle and slide are all bigger. what does your intake look like? i think mine is a home made job, it holds the carb up at an angle. good luck!
Re: 17mm bing parts
i've got the curvy intake that i think came on the magum x
Re: 17mm bing parts
All the bottom parts (float, jets, etc) are the same, but the top parts (slide, needle, choke) are bigger than regular bing stuff.

Hey Kevin...Check with Rich (ragstrecher). There's a good chance he has what you need.
Re: 17mm bing parts
Hey Greer, I am pretty sure I have te same intake as you. It kind of has an S bend to it and it sits on a slant if you mount it on a puch cylinder, right?
If so, I think thats a magnum X intake. I am trying to figure out a way to mount it on a puch cylinder without that lean to it. I am thinking like a wedge shaped riser of some kind.
If anyone knows of a better way to do it, let me know.
But yeah, as far as getting a new needle, I would either try and find one similar or see if maybe treats or 77 could get one. They both have a pretty good selection of bing bits.
