Which Carburetor?

[SGONE]

no worries cactus... i'll be sure to let you know how it works out...
i also come across the link above lastnight on PM, interesting to know that the VM26'S have different baseline jetting..
also the VM26 i have measure's 27.95mm at the rear going into the intake
so it tapers out from the slide nearly 2mm...

That's exactly what the chinese copy VM-24's are out of the rear ... They are 24 mm in front of the slide , are bigger just after the slide , then taper out to 27.95 ... They look exactly like a VM-26 606 only they don't have the screw in hex cap under the float bowl ...

 

[SGONE]

yep... mine has the hex cap and measure's 25.90 in front of the slide
so it's genuine..

What do you think about the Mikuni VM26 SAGAONE?

 

[WyldOne]

Sagaone?? I need to know ASAP!

Cause I don't know if I should get the Mikuni 26mm '30' or the genuine Mikuni VM26.

 

[SGONE]

wyldone to be honest i have'nt run my vm 26 yet .
but i would definatly go the genuine vm26 over the 30mm(26mm)
vm26's are suppose to be very easy to tune oppose to other carbs

The people who I was goin to buy the mikuni vm 26 carby (genuine) for 85 bucks, well it wanst genuine the dumb f***s! so ill have to get myelse f a mikuni mikuni '30'0 26mm carby.

for a start the mixture screw is on the side of the carb and easy to get at to adjust ... The "25" and "30" Mikunis are a PITA and you get burnt trying to tune 'em unless you are experienced ... LOL ... [/url]

i assume these are the breed of carb with the mixture screw at the bottom? an old mate used to work at parrys kawasaki, showed me his special screwdriver for these...
i used the tail of a model helicopter with the bevel gears...about 1/4 the price of the genuine thing from a bike shop...if you can find one... makes adjusting these things easy

pj sarsfield/gearco also sell premade right angle drives of countless sizes....

Hey guys only new here. Basically if i wanted to upgrade my current 18mm carbie to a 26mm mikuni. Does this mean i would need a 26mm manifold and would i have any problems attaching this to the engine where there is currently an 18mm manifold???
