Review on πŸ”§ KIPA Carburetor Mikuni HSR42 42mm for Harley Evo Evolution Twin Cam Glide Dyna Super Wide Lower Rider Disc Glide Fatboy Heritage Softail Night Train Road King by Jon Hill

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Never been able to tune it, not recommended

I had an OEM Mikuni HSR42 but it got clogged with tank sealant (long sad story). Anyway, I still haven't been able to pump this carb properly after weeks of trying, I'm retired and have time. I suspect it has slightly different holes than the real Mikuni. I have complete sets of pilot injectors, main injectors, injector needles and even air injectors, but I could not get this carburetor to idle properly in any configuration. I asked the seller what size injectors are fitted but never got an answer. Assuming it was just a carb, I ordered a genuine Mikuni HSR42, installed it and it works great, no flushing required. You get what you pay for, but as I've proven, there's something else to this carb. Not recommended, I would suggest buying OEM Mikuni. As it is currently in use based on testing I am wondering if I can get a refund. I will see.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
