Carb mystery

Post by ThunderMcAwesum »

Hi guys
So in my quest for a carb for my CA95, I ended up with a very clean and expensive one from ebay and an original one that came with a parts bike. Can anyone tell me which is the proper carb for a 64 Benly? What bike is the other from?

Looks like the right hand carb to me is correct (looks like my 65). The other seems to have the wrong flange for the intake tube. Just my opinion tho...

I was digging around and found the same to carbs in my stock. The first and last pics are from a CA95 and the other carb is CA160. the flange on my Ca95 carb is stamped DCA95 and did come from a 65-66 CA95. I may be wrong but think I'm darn close.
The CA95 uses a phenolic block as carb spacer where the CA160 has a small intake runner that mounts to the carb. The CA95 just slips over the carb studs in the head.
Wonder if anybody has used the CA160 on a CA95, I'll bet JetBlack has....

Carb on the left is for a CA95. Carb on the right is for a CA160. I'm sure you could rig the CA160 to the CA95, but I do'nt know if it's worth the gamble.

Took these today. The Ca160 fits easily on the 150cc CA95 engine, flange and bore seem compatible. It doesn't seem to move the slide centerline too much either.

Thanks so much for all the replies everyone. Looks like I have a spare CA160 carb.
