Hi guys

Can I swap the standard TK carb for a 26mm Mikuni as a straight swap ?

Is the inlet rubber and the air filter hose the same ?

I am assuming that I can just get a Mikuni and pop it on but I decided it might be sensible to ask first

I did it last year ( a VM Mikuni ) I had to sort out the jetting. It was not easy since my TY A is not stock. But yes they fit right on.

Thanks for the reply

I bought one and it fits just fine - when I get my ignition sorted I can see how well it runs

Should be fine,I've recently "lent" a mate of mine a Mikuni to go on his Ty250a - he says it works a treat.

Update ...

After fitting the carb and throwing in some fresh petrol the bike still wouldn't start

I had put a new plug in but the spark was VERY weak and I decided to go straight to an electronic ignition kit rather than muck about with the points ( lazy I know )

After fitting the kit ( from TY Trials ) I gave the bike a half hearted kick on the kickstart to get some fuel in the cylinder and it started first kick :-)

It sounds very bunged up ( exhaust I assume ) but after setting the tickover it actually will sit on tickover

At least now I have a running bike ( a very ugly running bike )

Exhaust? probably. Air filter ? Most likely Timming? I'd surely check, but your on a Yamaha, so you will have fun.

Ho Lord... I sound like I have a favorite prejudice.
