Right carbs for R69S

Post by Steve Baker »

My R69S was made on 31/8/66. The carbs are 1/26/75 and 1/26/76. Can anyone tell me if these are correct for this year? Understand that the owners manual has this info but have been unable to find copy for 1966. Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve

I don't know what you are really trying to achieve. The BINGs 1/26/75 and 1/26/76 are original to the R69S. as were their predecessors 1/26/69 and 1/26/70 and they last versions 1/26/91 and 1/26/92 with the new float chamber lid with valve mechanism. As BING made improvements, the new improved model automatically superseded the predecessor.

Regards,

Mark, thanks for the response. Before I spent the money to restore the carbs I wanted to make sure that they were the ones that had come on the bike and were not off of an earlier R69S. Am trying to do a visually accurate restoration so that the bike looks the same as it did when first sold. thanks again, Steve
