Willflow Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) I have some carbs that I need to sale and I'm not sure about value. I have 3 complete and 1 mostly complete along with a manifold set. I also have a MSA type 2 body kit. Any help would be great, thanks.

DuffyMahoney Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 We call those S5 mikuni 40s. They are worth around half what 45s are. They have center pull linkage, which is worth around $100-150 each. So a added bonus of 200-300 to the total value. The intake looks to have been cut apart? Which hurts it's value.

Willflow Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 The intake was not cut, it was made this way. I have seen 1 other set like them but can't find any info about them. There is no name or numbers on them. I know about the S5 type. I'm not sure I'd agree about half the value of 44's but a little less maybe. These will need the linkage arms replaced to run like the sets I've had in the past and wolf creek can get all that. Wish I had kept the last set of had on my 73. It's funny to see guys all about 44's and then they are using 32-36mm chokes inside them. Those sizes are available for the 40's too. Most engines with 44's would run the same or better with 40's if they aren't built up. In any case I'm not sure what they are worth. I see some wild prices out there that I wouldn't pay and I'm not out to gouge anyone. These will also need rebuild kits and maybe jetting. They came from Greece! I also am not sure about the other stuff I've I have. I have some black pearl wheels without caps that I'd be happy to get 200 for. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

DuffyMahoney Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) The fittings on the top are from a Toyota. I’m guessing they are originally toyota carbs. 40s are a great carb for even a fairly built 2.8L. But they aren’t as easy to sell, no clue why. I have sold 28 mikuni’s in the last few years. All but one set were 44s. I don’t know if I agree on the intake or not. But maybe I’m wrong. Edited December 7, 2020 by DuffyMahoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willflow Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 The intakes are odd for sure. There are no areas that are cut or ground on. Like I said, I have seen 1( just 1) other set that look identical. Again, I'm trying to figure out what they should sale for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnosez Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Been there. My son never slept for the first three years. I offered him the keys to my Z with a full tank of gas saying this was a one time offer. He never responded in any verbal manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willflow Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Thank God those years are behind me. I do however have 1 daughter about to turn 16 and drive and her sister is 13 going on 40, smarter than I'll ever be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) I decided it was a great idea to become a dad at 40 and renovate a 100 year old building to become a brewery/ restaurant all in the same year.
