YES !!!

 


Let us know what you think of em 

[ben2go]

I'm taken donations to purchase them.Should I put you down for the full amount? 


I'm just aggravated with a set of stock carbs that are giving me a problem.I'm was looking for info on the stock carbs.I came across these and started thinking about tax time next year.

[ohgood]

i've just purchased 2 sets of stock mikuni's for a total of $140 from gstwins members. one set is one my bike and running flawlessly for the moment with the only change being 150 mains.

i still haven't torn into my original (on the bike) set of carbs to find out what the problem was. i'm guessing a combination of dynojet + some crevice full of junk.

bug the members if you want a set cheap.

Yeah, but them there are flatside carbs.   That what them crazy race junkies use   no vacuum= no having to worry about torn diaphragm and other shaZam!.

[dgyver]

Those are not flat slides. They are smooth bores.

I sold a set for $275. Recently I snagged a set off of ebay for $100.

[ben2go]

I thought about buying these and just using the 2 center carbs.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=025&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=380003882100&rd=1

[dgyver]

If you can get them cheap enough.

Got'em on my watch list.

[ohgood]

can anyone enlighten me as to why the 'smooth bore' or 'side whatever' are better than the stock mikuni's since a few of you really know this stuff ?

Below is a quoted anwser from above.

so it's just -another- carb, not a 'better' carb ? ok, cool, i can dig that. tanx.

Mechanical carbs do not have the vacuum lag as CV carbs do. More fuel is delivered faster. More responsive. Another advantage of flat slides is that they do not
have a throttle butterfly to impede airflow at full throttle.

The disadvantage to this is that they are much less tolerant of inappropriate throttle movement. If you quickly give full throttle at low rpm, the engine may bog where CV carbs would cope.

[lamoun]

they do not have a throttle butterfly, as dgyver already said above, but you control the slide position with the throttle cable.

[ohgood]

cool, so they're less forgiving of newbie mistakes. got it. thanks for the explanations

[ben2go]

when I last checked they were $256 and some change.  I wasn't even expecting them to hit $50.

[dgyver]

Are you serious? 36mm flat slides are the most sought after. Never seen them under $300.

I pickup a pair of Mikuni 36mm flat slides from a Polaris sled for $60. Just need to figure out what would need to be changed to run straight gasoline instead of a oil/gas max.

I thought that 2 strokes have the same carbs as 4 strokes.The difference I was thinking, was that a 500cc 2 stroke would require a little more fuel because of the oil/gas mix.I really shouldn't speculate on this be cause I've only owned one 2 stroke,a 250cc Honda Odyssy.A couple pieces of lawn equipment,also.

It would be nice if all I had to do was swap jets. The main concern if the emulsion tubes are different sizes but they can be changed.
