I have 2 hda 87's i would sell.... Both probably need rebuilt. I also have a new in box ks p@c but thats going to be pricey!

If you decide you want a KS over a Mahle cylinder let me know, I would prefer a Mahle for my dad that has decomp. Would be happy to trade you.

This project does have a Mahle (A) that I was going to clean up and match with a new meteor. Have a decomp to include and am into bartering... really leaning toward the 87/KS route for this guy.

I have a KS similar condition, if you want to swap that works for me, my dad is 70 and prefers a decomp

BAD CAD
FWIW,
Unless your getting the jug ported, no need for the 87 carb. Only makes a difference if the jug can move more air, otherwise the 120/144 carb is just fine on it.

You are the man Doc, and I completely agree, I love the tunability of the 120, not near as finicky as the 87
I was about ready to do that for my dad to the 1990 ks and 87. I was going to go with the mahle decomp worst cylinder of the bunch IMO and put a dished 261 piston in it.
But a collector saved me from that.
Never tested the ks with 120 to see if I can tell any difference from 87. But that ks cyl is a hottie stock.

Just finsihed up on this project... thought I'd update. Transfer marks were easily cleaned out of the KS jug, installed with a new matching Meteor and compression is top notch. Saw is running like a champ. Really apprecaite the trade. Probably get board with how good it runs and decide to port it, keep me posted on that 89

Glad you got it running, I am not sure what is gonna happen with the spare 87 carb yet, probably just keep it for a spare, ported they are a completely different animal, in a good way.
