Title: Mikuni carb kits from Nfield Gear
Post by: Dhastings1954 on April 27, 2013, 12:38:33 pm
Anybody know if the Mikuni replacement carbs being sold by NField Gear already have the correct jetting? The sales blurb does not say. Looks like you get everything else you need to convert.

If you are talking about the complete kit with the 34mm round slide Mikuni, I think that does come with the jetting that is recommended.
It also comes with the rubber manifold which is large enough for it, and a nice Motion Pro throttle cable.

Depending on what you plan to do with this engine, you might find that a 30mm or 32mm could do just as well.

Be careful at first mine flooded and spilled gas when I first installed it. I believe it does come properly jetted. Don't forget to set the air mixture though.

It's also my understanding if you go any bigger then 30mm then you should probably get the valves done to accommodate the larger carb=more fuel.

I'd tend to agree with that.
