Hello, I’d like to replace the carbs on my 2008/9 hyosung gv250 because they are beyond repair.
Any good ideas on some replacement/upgrade carburetors for it?
any help is appreciated.

Can we see any pictures of it ?> and what damage is on it ? It should be possible to still save them!
Also Korea has “made sure” their engines run perfectly with the carbs they intended for , so sky is the limit if you try to use other branded carbs but also engine wants “twin” carbs , and there is the issue of
- Airbox accepting other carbs (Hyosung’s hate pod filters and will force you to use the airbox back)
- Intake manifold were designed in a way they expect the original carbs to sit on them.

By pictures do you mean of the bike or the carb?
the carb is beyond fixing. The vacuum pump plunger thingy (pardon my French, im very tired) has a budded screw on the end in the float bowl.
well, the bolts from each carb broke off from age and it’s now dumping liters of fuel over time into the front most manifold (I was able to fix the other).
(If I forget to shut off fuel when I go to the store, I have to break it free by reversing a bit in 1st gear to de-hydro lock the engine) that’s how bad it is.
I have literally rebuilt those mikuni carbs 7 different times with tankweld because I cant find any new and even remove those bolts and the sumbich keeps breaking.
like redneck v-tech though, when I give it half throttle and the mixture stabilizes, it lurches with an acceleration that terrifies me until I smile and frown at the same time.
Also I have designed a new air box because I hate the one that came with it, (I feel like I’m breaking the bike each time I put it in)
the main problem and why it hates pod filters is the vacuum line that runs in the air box, if I’m not mistaken… so I devised a plan to take inexpensive 1 1/2 inch (pardon my imperial XD) piping, spacers and fittings and make a cold air intake like snake into a single 3 inch pod. It also has a port for the vacuum line and seems to work very well.
it is dark outside so I can’t take new pictures, but as soon as I can, I will.
I hope this helps you help me : P

Hmm i should have further advise once you come back and upload some pictures on this forum topic, so i can see your inventions under the bike and also damage of the carb , maybe it could be possible i can sell body parts of it.
Regards.

Sure thing! As soon as I rebuild that stupid mikuni carb again, I’ll share pictures. For now, though, are you able to help me find aftermarket’s?

Aftermarket carb ? It’s difficult and the very last thing you want is a chinese clone-twin carb , it just never runs right. In fact you will be frustrated the instant you acquire such things. I can however try to get you mikuni bodies if the bodies are destroyed but internal mikuni parts i should have most on the store but i can get what’s not listed in most cases if i can!
