September 29, 200718 yr Hi Guys Have a 198A 250 Sherpa , with all sorts of issues , has [i believe] a VM26 Mikuni carb which I think is ready to hit the scrap-heap , wrong slide cut-away [#3] wrong pilot jet #30 thats just for starters .... has had me going round in circles so going to buy a new carb , question is should I stick with the Mikuni or try something else .... if anyones using a VM26 , would love to know what your basic settings are before I loose it ! Next major issue is the "spark" ... had the Mag off today and the coils look like they;re been in a battle field and lost , lots of scored insulation on both coils LT & Lighting [not used] so they are knackered ... next question , repair the stator with fresh LT Coil [will remove the lighting one for good] points , condensor or junk it all in favour of an electronic ignition kit ? If the answer is YES go electronic whos kit to use and are they easier to set-up than the points system ! Many thanks in advance of your replys , had nothing but trouble with the bike this week and would love to see the end of the tunnel soon ! All best Greg Ps, if nothing else my leg muscles are toning up from all that damm kicking lol
