I came up on a fairly clean rack of 069A carbs, and wondering if it’s worth it to throw them on my 77 550K (which has the PD carbs).
The 550 has an open 4 into 1 exhaust and pods (no airbox when I got her), and from my understanding the 069A carbs can create more power and/or are easier to dial in on a bike with open exhaust and pods.
Can I potentially get more power out of these 069A carbs on my setup? Easier to dial in?
If so, which jet sizes should I start with?
Also, would I be able to use my original intake manifolds? Or were the manifolds different for different carb types / F bikes?
