66Bonny

I have a '66 Bonneville (refreshed,not restored) that I've owned for 36 years. Since putting significant time & dollars into it a couple years ago (which included a total carb rebuild by professionals) to keep her roadworthy and respectable I've been riding my other (low maintenance) bikes because I can't seem to get those dastardly monoblocs to settle down & idle correctly after she's warmed up (tends to race at a very fast idle with mushy response - idles fine when cold!). I'm getting the itch to go back to my first love again and have pretty much decided to scrap the monoblocs (I know,I know, original equipment..) and take the easy route by getting a pair of Mikuni's and be done with it. What is the best outlet for this kit (Sudco,etc.)? I've found $300 plus shipping but am hoping to do better. Thanks for any help...

At that price, you'd better snap them up!

I'll buy those monoblocs w/ manifolds when you want to let them go.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the "professional carb rebuild" left something to be desired. Monoblocs helped propel hundreds of thousands of motorcycles perfectly well for years.
If I do say so myself, I'm pretty good at making these old atomizers work, so why not take them off, pull them down, and note the size of the jets and cutaways, the diameter of the carb bore, and take some photos. Post the info or email me directly.
NOW.....if it gets dodgy when warm, also suspect tightening valve clearance, shaky coil or condenser. Do you still have the old 4CA points with the condenser on the plate, or have you gone late model or EI?
Locate the problem first, then spend money.
