Title: Carb question
Post by: mxgrant185 on March 29, 2013, 02:50:47 PM
I have a 96 m900, how do you tell what the size of the carbs are? I know they are either 38mm or 40mm. From what I've read. But how do u tell.

I read online they could be bigger though, or is that just for aftermarket?

Yes.

Typical carb venturi for a 900 w/ FCR's is 41mm

So how exactly can I tell or measure the carbs to find out? And do other displacements use the same size?

You could measure the venturi with an inside mic or a bore gauge, but, as you have been told it is a 38.  All Monsters use a 38, different jetting for different applications is the difference.  The size is also indicated in the model#, BDST38 - ****, the last four digits being the application.
