Keyster Carb Kit Question

1 month 1 week ago
#33148
Good evening,
I'm in the process of putting Keyster carb kits through my 1979 (A1) but notice that the Keyster air valve plunger is different to the OEM item inasmuch that it doesn't have a locating pin at the end.
Is this a problem?
As always, thanks for your advice.

Good question but a moot point. Only the OEM plungers had the pin. The pin has been omitted on aftermarket plungers.
Save yourself some $$ and buy a generic kit(s). I've been doing so for many years with no issues.

Scotch, is Keyster considered a generic kit?

As far as I know It's a Brand name.
They are more expensive due to the caliber of Staffing!

Thanks Scotch, but too late now as I've already bought them. I'd read in several places how the cheaper ones were rubbish and only the Keyster ones were worth purchasing.
Unfortunately, they don't seem to be that crash hot either. As an example, the aluminium spools that fit on the idle jets are drilled with a smaller diameter hole that the plunger upper shaft so don't fit.
Go figure....
I appreciate your feedback.
