I got all that junk for the 650 but when you said 350 for the carb setup was high, I knew you were delusional on price and I'm not wasting my breath lol

Considering I can't sell my dual 44's with protec manifold for $275, I'd say $350 for a single carb setup is fairly pricey...

Exactly I’m in no rush the ski runs perfect starts up instantly doesnt even have time to hear it crank jus instant cold start and hot and it’s a blast jus want a little more power but not trying to pay a whole lot !
While I don't know Quinc personally, anyone with over 8k posts and a site supporter probably checks out - unlike some of FB shenanigans I've seen.
Still lots of good info on what to do on the cheap. Keep your eye out for some good deals and scoop them up as they come by.

I used to throw those 650 setups together with the proper jets ready to rip with intake , carb and filter for 350 ages ago. My prices used to be the highest on ebay, and I got it , until robjetskihaven started charging even more. Foreign countries and up short areas pay premium prices. Some years ago anyway. Your dual 44 setup sounds dirt cheap to me. Too cheap.
Surprised you even wasted your time posting bro lol, now go pick dem bones...

Speed costs money if you want to ride cheap leave it stock. The cheapest you are going to get out is a used 44 carb, jets, spring etc and a 44 conversion plate for a stock manifold, stock flame arrestor and carb off a 650-701 works well and can be found fairly cheap, dremel out the stock intake 120 pilot 145-150 main jet 2.0 needle and seat with a black spring, then do the pipe mod but regardless of what other mods you do get a decent stainless impeller in it first or you are wasting your time.

Picking up a cbk ll 40 mm carb for it for 60$ tm is that a good deal
If you're doing a mild 650 use the stock 38 mm carb unless there's something wrong with it. Also go poke around pwctoday there are more people there who are into old kawis. I would do a search for "kweasle" and read up. Your best mild 650 stuff is going to be an impeller, some compression, a pipe or pipe mod if you're very budget. A good pipe is the biggest thing that will make a difference, but also the most expensive.
Hey, I said leave it alone and go rip.

Wont be same price after you finish buying all the jetting and needle and seats you may need plus flame arrestor adapter and flame arrestor. You will be around $425-450.00 Quinc's deal is fair and from a trusted member.

Not sure what the 650sx come with but my jetmate 650 came with a 28mm carb.
I know that on x2's the early models came with the "28" and later models came with the 38. I'm pretty sure sx650's were the same way. The "28" actually measures more like 34mm at the throttle blade, so it's not so much of a difference as it sounds, but you can just about get the stock 38's for free from people who pulled it off to put on an sbn.
Obviously with the caveat that if there is anything wrong with your "free" carb and you start putting parts into it it's no longer "free".
I'm very doubtful that putting a bigger carb on a mild 650 is a significant performance upgrade, but putting a carb that works the way it's supposed to in place of one that is gummed up or has dried up diaphragms or whatever else wrong with it will make it run better. The shortest/lowest cost path to that may or may not be a new SBN.
