Correct carbs for 1959 R69
Correct carbs for 1959 R69
I currently have R69S 1/26/91-92 carbs on my 1959 R69, but have just purchased a set of R68/R69 1/26/9-10 carbs.
My Classic certificate from BMW states that it came from the factory with 1/26/9-10 carbs, but Tim Stafford states in his recent 1/26/10 Bing Carb eBay listing that it was only the early R69 that had the 1/26/9-10 carb and that the later R69 had 1/26/85-86 carbs.

So I guess from his statement mine would have had 1/26/85-86 carbs from the factory?
What to believe? BMW Classic certificate or Tim Stafford?

BMW's information might not necessarily always be complete. They couldn't tell me the day my R69S was built because the records were incomplete...they could only give me a range of a couple of months.

So, from your perspective my 1959 R69 would have had 1/26/85-86 carbs from the factory? Guess I should cancel my order on the 1/26/91-92 carbs, then

Hope that makes sense

My R69 was manufactured on July 24th, 1959. Do you know the date for yours? Not to be a rivet counter, but I find it quite interesting to get things "as it was". It's part of my job as the current caretaker to take it back to it's former factory spec glory
