Wanted,BSA M20 carburetor

Post by Frank USMC » Sat Feb 25, 2017 5:50 pm

I need a carburetor for my 1944 BSA M20. Some really bad gas has completely destroyed the one on the motorcycle. Thanks for any help.

Is your current carburettor beyond repair?
I know ethanol can do harm to plastics, but the body should be fine..right?

The body is toast! The fuel had water in it, and it just ate into the body. Even after soaking it in PB blaster, we could not get the carburetor completely apart. I am also having the gas tank relined at this time, this was some nasty gas!
