Im looking for a new set of carbs for my '93 katana and the only ones I could find are at a salvage yard that says they are off a 2001 katana (also a 750), and "should" be the same only they have an electrical idle sensor on them. The guy told me that they should work, but I dont wanna drive 2 hours and spend 15o$ to find out. Anybody know if these newer gen. mukinis w/ the electrical TPS or whatever is is will fit my bike?
Thanks, Sam

If they have an electronic idle control, they should work, or be made to work with minimal modification, you may need a temperature sensor to make it work right, or tear off the electrical control and retro-fit a manual choke to it..... keep in mind that without seeing them and the bike, this is just a 'best guess' sorta thing.
If it has a TPS (Throttle Position Sensor), you need a period-correct computer to run everything properly... and 'everything' else that the original bike used to fuel and spark itself..... again, 'best guess'.....
No Witnesses....
